NFT API

Blockchain NFT data made simple

BlockSpan is an NFT API platform for software companies developing on the blockchain. We aggregate data from multiple chains and provide an API layer to allow NFT developers to retrieve token prices, current ownership, and metadata including cached images in real time.

Build multi-chain apps with speed

Supporting multiple blockchains, or switching chains, doesn't have to be difficult.
You can stop scraping block logs and write a simple rest API integration instead.

Normalized NFT data

More than just transaction data, our API returns price, current owner, metadata, and more

Multiple blockchains

Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism supported today, with more coming soon

Well documented

We've written extensive documentation for each endpoint that includes an interactive API console

More than just on-chain data

Our NFT API includes token metadata and cached image urls, saving making API and IPFS calls to fetch that data.
