NFT Ownership API

The NFT Ownership API can be used to retrieve information about the ownership of a specific NFT ( Non-Fungible Token ) on the supported blockchain. For instance using this we can access the owners of an NFT including their addresses and associated metadata and also we can retrieve a list of the top holders of a particular NFT.

Get NFT Owners

This query fetches the most recent owner of the NFT. The API leverages the BalanceUpdates method, which keeps track of all balance updates. Alternatively, you can achieve similar results by utilizing the Transfers API.

query MyQuery {
  EVM(dataset: combined, network: eth) {
    BalanceUpdates(
      orderBy: { descending: Block_Time }
      limit: { count: 1 }
      where: {
        BalanceUpdate: { Id: { eq: "9996" } }
        Currency: {
          Fungible: false
          SmartContract: { is: "0x8a90cab2b38dba80c64b7734e58ee1db38b8992e" }
        }
      }
    ) {
      Currency {
        Name
        SmartContract
      }
      BalanceUpdate {
        Address
        Amount
        Id
      }
      Block {
        Number
        Date
      }
    }
  }
}

Parameters

• network : This specifies the Ethereum network to use.
• dataset : This specifies the dataset to use. In this case, the dataset is combined.
• limit : Specifies the maximum results to return. In this query, the limit is 1.
• orderBy : Results are in descending order by Block_Time.
• where : This parameter allows you to filter the results based on specific conditions. In this case, the token ID is "9996" and the Currency is non-fungible, with the Smart Contract being 0x8a90cab2b38dba80c64b7734e58ee1db38b8992e.

Returned Data

• Currency : Specifies the NFT currency. Name represents the currency name, and SmartContract contains its smart contract address.
• BalanceUpdate : Contains the address of the NFT holder, along with the amount and ID of the token involved in the balance update.
• Block : Includes the block number and date.

Top Holders of an NFT

Let's see an example showcasing the retrieval of the top 10 holders for a particular NFT, with their balances.

query MyQuery {
  EVM(dataset: combined, network: eth) {
    BalanceUpdates(
      orderBy: { descendingByField: "Balance" }
      limit: { count: 10 }
      where: {
        Currency: {
          SmartContract: { is: "0x7dD4F223D9155F412790D696Fa30923489d4Ad34" }
        }
      }
    ) {
      BalanceUpdate {
        Address
      }
      Balance: sum(of: BalanceUpdate_Amount, selectWhere: { gt: "0" })
    }
  }
}

In this query, you'll need to replace 0x7dD4F223D9155F412790D696Fa30923489d4Ad34 with the contract address of the NFT you'd like to retrieve top holders for.

Parameters

• dataset : Specifies combined dataset that includes both realtime & archive data.
• network : Specifies that the Ethereum network is being queried.
• orderBy : Orders the results based on the "Balance" field in descending order, meaning the holder with highest balance will appear first.
• limit : Limits the number of results returned to 10.
• where : It filters the query results based on the NFT smart contract address 0x7dD4F223D9155F412790D696Fa30923489d4Ad34 . Currency: {SmartContract: {is: ""}} specifies the filter for the smart contract address.

Returned Data

• Balance : Specifies the balance amount in the results.
• BalanceUpdate : The Address field specifies the address who holds the NFT.

Find NFT Creator Address

The creator of the NFT can be inferred from the sender of the first transfer. By setting, Transfers(limit: {count: 1} orderBy: {ascending: Block_Time}) we fetch the earliest (first) transfer record based on block time.

You can run the query here

query MyQuery {
  EVM(dataset: archive) {
    Transfers(
      limit: {count: 1}
      orderBy: {ascending: Block_Time}
      where: {Transfer: {Currency: {SmartContract: {is: "0xa7d8d9ef8D8Ce8992Df33D8b8CF4Aebabd5bD270"}}, Id: {eq: "78000725"}}}
    ) {
