Avalanche is a highly scalable network tailored for custom applications, offering high transactions per second (TPS) and low transaction fees. It operates as a specialized blockchain aiming to maintain scalability without compromising speed or decentralization. Its native token is AVAX. The core platform consists of three blockchains: the Exchange Chain (X-Chain), Contract Chain (C-Chain), and Platform Chain (P-Chain). The X-Chain handles asset creation and transactions, the C-Chain is responsible for smart contract deployment, and the P-Chain coordinates validators and subnets. Avalanche-C Chain, built on the Snowman consensus protocol, is the contract chain supporting smart contracts and EVM compatibility. Developers can efficiently deploy smart contracts and build DApps on the C-Chain.Regarding NFTScan data, as of November 24th, on the Avalanche-C network, there have been a total issuance of 15,601,161 NFT assets spread across 215,667 NFT collections. These transactions have amounted to 36,165,993 records, involving interactions from 2,321,649 unique wallet addresses, with a total transaction volume of 2,067,664.69 AVAX.<blockquote>Avalanche-C NFTScan: <a href="https://avax.nftscan.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://avax.nftscan.com/</a></blockquote><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/44557f0262e84d88b0928c2700849cdd.png" /><h2 id="header-0">Accessing the NFTScan NFT API</h2>Step 1: Create a NFTScan Developer AccountBefore utilizing the NFTScan API, visit the NFTScan developer platform and create an account.

Visit the API documentation and input your API KEY in the designated location. Follow the documentation’s instructions to start using the API services.<img src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*5Y14HgFjAaSkCoJJExQnjQ.png" />In the API documentation, developers can find multiple interface modes to choose from based on their requirements. Additionally, developers can monitor their API usage statistics in the Dashboard, which helps in keeping track of historical data. Furthermore, NFTScan offers each registered developer 1M CU of API calls, which can be used for requesting all NFT API interfaces, and these CU never expire.Step 2: View Ethereum API DocumentationAfter successfully registering a developer account and obtaining an API Key, you need to review the NFTScan API documentation. The API documentation contains all available API endpoints and parameters, as well as detailed information on how to build requests and handle responses. Please read the API documentation carefully and make sure you understand how to use the API to obtain the data you need. NFTScan API services are dedicated to helping developers improve their experience in obtaining NFT data analysis.Currently, NFTScan has the largest and most comprehensive NFT Collection database on the web, supporting full NFT data for 20 blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, BNBChain, Bitcoin, TON, Polygon, zkSync, Aptos, Linea, Base, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Optimism, Scroll, Viction,Fantom, Moonbeam, PlatON, Cronos, and Gnosis. The covered NFT data is extensive and diverse, providing a complete set of interfaces to obtain ERC721 and ERC1155 assets as well as transaction, project, and market statistics information. NFTScan now supports more than 60 public interfaces for EVM-compatible chains and a group of equivalent interfaces for Solana, Aptos, Bitcoin, and TON, largely meeting developers’ needs for indexing various types of NFT data.<img src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*kgAbPOiKuYeoxCVjHeI2og.png" /><h2 id="header-1">Avalanche-C NFT API Model</h2>This comprises three primary model interfaces, each with an overview and explanation of core API fields to assist developers in accessing and utilizing data for their Dapp services under development.1/ Assets API: &#34;Assets&#34; represent the most critical data fields within NFT, uniquely identifying and describing digital assets. Developers can extract &#34;Assets&#34; data from NFTs on the Avalanche-C to gain comprehensive insights and construct relevant applications. The &#34;Assets&#34; object provides unique identification for digital assets and data about their entire lifecycle, serving as a foundation for developers to understand and utilize NFTs.2/ Tansactions API: The transaction model represents the complete transaction data for an NFT asset on the blockchain, offering developers a full view of an NFT&#39;s transaction history. This includes NFT minting, transfers, sales, and other transaction activities, providing developers with an opportunity to deeply understand the flow and evolution of NFT assets within the Avalanche-C ecosystem. NFTScan continuously aggregates NFT transaction market and related contract information from various blockchain networks. Currently, NFTScan has compiled data for tracking and understanding NFT market dynamics, aiding developers in building NFT-based applications and tools.3/ Collections API: NFTScan retrieves off-chain data related to NFT Collections, including descriptions, social media, and other fundamental information. This data is obtained from the most popular NFT markets provided through various blockchain networks. Additionally, floor price information is centralized data derived from order information on NFT markets, and it can be accessed via API.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/252d24a0f42d4303865a73c74bf6ac72.png" /><h2 id="header-2"> Avalanche-C NFT API Retrieval</h2>1/ Retrieve Assets Series<ul><li>Get NFTs by account (Retrieve NFTs using a wallet address)</li><li>Get all NFTs by account (Retrieve all NFTs associated with a wallet address and group them by contract address.

The entire process involves referencing the documentation to find the instructions for the required API, including the request address, method, and necessary parameters. Then, using any familiar programming language such as JavaScript, Python, or Java, developers can utilize the built-in request library of the chosen language to create a request based on the interface specifications outlined in the documentation. Configuring the request headers and parameters accordingly, developers can send a request to the defined interface address to obtain JSON-formatted data in response. The construction of requests can be entirely based on the interface documentation without requiring extensive deduction, making the entire calling process swift and with a low entry barrier.For instance, when using the &#39;Get transactions by contract&#39; interface to request transaction records associated with the address &#39;0x8927985b358692815e18f2138964679dca5d3b79,&#39; utilizing the endpoint: &#34;/v2/transactions/{contract_address},&#34;with an HTTP GET request to NFTScan&#39;s API endpoint using Python&#39;s requests library, the request can be constructed as follows:<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/a24429b76cf044b1a94cb8f76e0cdb5c.png" />In summary, this code snippet sends an HTTP GET request to the specified endpoint. It serves as a foundational framework for sending requests to NFTScan&#39;s API and retrieving transaction record data, providing a starting point for further data processing and analysis.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/3626f17db50b4c8590fe0b5263c6b3f2.png" /><h3 id="about-nftscan">About NFTScan</h3>NFTScan is the world’s largest NFT data infrastructure, including a professional NFT explorer and NFT developer platform, supporting the complete amount of NFT data for 19 blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, BNBChain, Arbitrum, Optimism, and other major networks, providing NFT API for developers on various blockchains.Official Links:NFTScan: <a href="https://nftscan.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://nftscan.com</a>Developer: <a href="https://developer.nftscan.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://developer.nftscan.com</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/nftscan_com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://twitter.com/nftscan_com</a>Discord: <a href="https://discord.gg/nftscan" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://discord.gg/nftscan</a><a href="https://medium.com/nftscan/nftscan-launches-nftscan-connect-program-to-support-early-stage-web3-startups-1a0470698002" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NFTScan Connect Program</a>
