Sei Network is a Layer 1 blockchain that focuses on transactions, built on the Cosmos SDK and utilizing the Tendermint BFT consensus mechanism. It is designed not only for crypto asset trading in the DeFi space but also aims to create a multi-functional blockchain ecosystem in key verticals such as gaming, social media, and NFTs.Sei Network strives to be the fastest and most scalable transaction blockchain, capable of processing thousands of transactions with sub-second finality. As of June 21st, NFTScan data shows that there have been 32,397 NFT assets issued on Sei Network, with 208 NFT Collections, 36,052 interaction records, 4,470 wallet addresses involved in interactions, and a total transaction volume of 13,189 SEI.&#x1f517; Sei NFTScan: <a href="https://sei.nftscan.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://sei.nftscan.com/</a><img src="https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url&#61;https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2FQk0WvDHHxISlvQEG0co7O.png&amp;w&#61;3840&amp;q&#61;75" /><h3 id="strong-create-your-nftscan-developer-account-strong">Create Your NFTScan Developer Account</h3>The first step to start using the NFTScan API is to create a developer account on the NFTScan website. Visit the official NFTScan developer website and click the “Sign Up” button to register for an account. Simply follow the registration process by providing the necessary information.Click here to create your NFTScan developer account: ➡️ <a href="https://developer.nftscan.com/user/signup" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://developer.nftscan.com/user/signup</a>.<img src="https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url&#61;https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2FN0-8a2XDJ_M_pdDsqctgv.png&amp;w&#61;3840&amp;q&#61;75" />Once logged in, navigate to the Dashboard to find your unique API KEY. Copy this key and paste it into the designated field in the API documentation. Follow the provided instructions in the documentation to begin using the API service. Within the API documentation, developers can explore different interface modes and select the most appropriate one based on their requirements.<img src="https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url&#61;https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2FI3DfcX2kdlhO36LZwU8VW.png&amp;w&#61;3840&amp;q&#61;75" />In the Dashboard, developers can access statistics on their API usage to track historical data. Additionally, NFTScan provides each registered developer with 1M CU of API call services for accessing all NFT API interfaces. The CU never expires, allowing developers to use it until it is depleted.<h3 id="strong-view-the-sei-nft-api-documentation-strong">View the Sei NFT API documentation</h3>After successfully registering as a developer and obtaining an API Key, you will need to access the Sei NFT API documentation. The API documentation provides details on all available API endpoints and parameters, along with instructions on how to construct requests and handle responses. It is important to thoroughly review the API documentation to ensure you understand how to effectively use the API to retrieve the desired data.The Sei NFT API service provides a comprehensive NFT Collection library, offering data from 24 blockchains such as Ethereum, Solana, BNBChain, Bitcoin, Mint, and more. The NFT data is diverse, covering various NFT types including ERC721, ERC1155, ERC404, and ERC6551, as well as transaction, project, and market statistics. With support for over 60 public interfaces for EVM-compatible chains and additional interfaces for other chains like Solana, Aptos, Bitcoin, and TON, developers have access to a wide range of NFT data indexing capabilities to effectively meet their analysis needs.<img src="https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url&#61;https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2FPlaw_NpMACrGE6wr6H-hl.png&amp;w&#61;3840&amp;q&#61;75" /><h3 id="sei-nft-apis">Sei NFT APIs</h3>The core APIs consist of three main interfaces that provide an overview and explanation of the key fields in the NFT ecosystem. These APIs help developers understand how to access and utilize data for their Dapp services.Assets API: The “Assets” API is essential for identifying and describing digital assets in NFTs on the Sei blockchain. By retrieving “Assets” data, developers can gain a comprehensive understanding of these assets and use the information to build related applications. This API provides a unique identifier for digital assets along with their complete lifecycle data, serving as a crucial resource for developers working with NFTs.Transactions API: The Transactions API offers comprehensive data on the transactions involving NFT assets on the blockchain. It includes details on minting, transfers, sales, and other transaction activities, allowing developers to track the entire lifecycle of NFT transactions within the Sei ecosystem. NFTScan continuously aggregates transaction market data and contract information from various blockchain networks, enabling developers to analyze and understand the dynamics of the NFT market and build applications based on this data.Collections API: The Collections API retrieves off-chain data related to NFT Collections, such as descriptions, social media links, and other fundamental information. This data is sourced from mainstream NFT market APIs across different blockchain networks. Additionally, floor price information, which is based on order data from the NFT market, can also be accessed through APIs.<img src="https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url&#61;https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2FrvdEK_HJ9IxCy5tvi4kzU.png&amp;w&#61;3840&amp;q&#61;75" /><h3 id="strong-1-retrieve-assets-series-strong">1/ Retrieve Assets Series</h3><ul><li>Get NFTs by account (Retrieve NFTs by wallet address)</li><li>Get all NFTs by account (Retrieve all NFTs owned by a wallet address, grouped by contract address.

When writing the code, developers just need to organize the interface parameters, such as contract address, API Key, etc., call the corresponding NFTScan API, and easily retrieve standardized JSON format data.Here, we query the NFT details data for the contract address 0xa15b7162da988a788b00ac4fc0085f054b5ce7f4, using the Get NFTs by contract API path “/v2/assets/{contract_address}”, making an HTTP GET request to the NFTScan API. Using the Python requests library, the request can be constructed as follows:<blockquote>import requests # Define the request URL and contract addressbase_url &#61; &#34;https://api.nftscan.com/v2/assets/&#34;contract_address &#61; &#34;0xa15b7162da988a788b00ac4fc0085f054b5ce7f4&#34;url &#61; f&#34;{base_url}{contract_address}&#34; # Set up the request headers, assuming an API key is requiredheaders &#61; { &#34;Authorization&#34;: &#34;Bearer YOUR_API_KEY&#34;, # Replace with your actual API key &#34;Content-Type&#34;: &#34;application/json&#34; } # Send the GET requestresponse &#61; requests.get(url, headers&#61;headers) # Check if the request was successful if response.status_code &#61;&#61; 200: nft_data &#61; response.json() # Parse the JSON response print(nft_data) else: print(f&#34;Request failed, status code: {response.status_code}&#34;) print(response.text)</blockquote>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 20&#43; 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>
