How to Get a Collection by Unique ID

This tutorial explains the steps in getting any Ethereum Mainnet collection by its unique ID. The response contains the type of NFTs in the collection as well as other details associated with it.

Step 1. Use the collections or collections search endpoint to get an NFT collection or a list of collections.

For example, you can follow these steps: How to Get a Collection by Name

Step 2. Copy a collection ID from the id field:

{
    "id": "4203aedd-7964-5fe1-b932-eb8c4fda7822",
    "name": "Bored Ape Yacht Club",
    ...more properties...
}

Step 3. Use the collection endpoint with the following details:

protocol: ethereum
network: mainnet

collection ID: 4203aedd-7964-5fe1-b932-eb8c4fda7822 (copied in the previous step)

https://svc.blockdaemon.com/nft/v1/ethereum/mainnet/collection/4203aedd-7964-5fe1-b932-eb8c4fda7822

Step 4. Execute the query.

For example, in cURL, you should run the following code:

curl -X GET 'https://svc.blockdaemon.com/nft/v1/ethereum/mainnet/collection/4203aedd-7964-5fe1-b932-eb8c4fda7822' -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'

Note!
To authorize your request, you need to get an API key and use it as a bearer token or a query parameter. Learn more: Authentication Guide

Step 5. Your results will look something like this:

{
    "collection": {
        "id": "4203aedd-7964-5fe1-b932-eb8c4fda7822",
        "name": "Bored Ape Yacht Club",
        "description": "The Bored Ape Yacht Club is a collection of 10,000 unique Bored Ape NFTs— unique digital collectibles living on the Ethereum blockchain.

        "contracts": [

            }
        ],
        "meta": {
            "discord_url": "https://discord.gg/3P5K3dzgdB",
            "external_url": "http://www.boredapeyachtclub.com/",
            "twitter_username": "BoredApeYC"
        },
        "sub_collection": []
