How to Get an NFT by Unique ID

This tutorial explains the steps to get any Ethereum Mainnet NFT by its unique ID. The response contains the attributes, mint date, type of a given NFT, and other associated details.

Step 1. Use the assets endpoint to get a list of NFTs.

For example, you can follow these steps: How to Get All NFTs for a Smart Contract

Step 2. Copy an asset ID from the id field:

{
    "id": "5e1f4454-34ff-5118-9987-96b481625128",
    "token_id": "9999",
    ...more properties...
}

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

protocol: ethereum
network: mainnet

asset ID: 5e1f4454-34ff-5118-9987-96b481625128 (copied in the previous step)

https://svc.blockdaemon.com/nft/v1/ethereum/mainnet/asset/5e1f4454-34ff-5118-9987-96b481625128

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/asset/5e1f4454-34ff-5118-9987-96b481625128' -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:

{
    "asset": {
        "token_id": "9999",
        "token_type": "ERC721",
        "media": {
            "image_url": "token/0xBC4CA0EdA7647A8aB7C2061c2E118A18a936f13D/5e1f4454-34ff-5118-9987-96b481625128.png",
            "source": "ipfs://QmejYePrutbfWEV8wA3ogTHi2cf2j6hoaPhZSc6vNE43nH"
        },
        "name": "#9999",
        "mint_date": "1619858117",
        "token_uri": "ipfs://QmeSjSinHpPnmXmspMjwiXyN6zS4E9zccariGR3jxcaWtq/9999",
        "description": "",
        "contract_address": "0xBC4CA0EdA7647A8aB7C2061c2E118A18a936f13D",
        "wallets": [],
        "attributes": [
            {
                "trait_type": "Hat",
                "value": "Army Hat"
            },
            {
                "trait_type": "Background",
                "value": "Purple"
            },
            {
                "trait_type": "Mouth",
                "value": "Bored Unshaven"
            },
            {
                "trait_type": "Earring",
                "value": "Gold Hoop"
            },
            {
                "trait_type": "Fur",
                "value": "Gray"
            },
            {
                "trait_type": "Eyes",
                "value": "Scumbag"
            }
        ],
        "burned": false,
        "rarity": [
            {
                "model": "open_rarity",
                "score": 0.9954297307820068,
                "rank": "5327"
            }
        ]
    }
}

The token type is returned by the token_type field, e.g.:

"token_type": "ERC721"

The mint date is returned in Unix time by the mint_date field:

"mint_date": "1619858117"

Attributes are located in the attributes section:

"attributes": [
   {
       "trait_type": "Hat",
       "value": "Army Hat"
   },
   {
       "trait_type": "Background",
       "value": "Purple"
   },
   {...more attributes...}
]
