SimpleHash vs. the Infura NFT API
- Ecosystem support
Broader NFT ecosystem support — including Solana, Bitcoin Ordinals, and the ability to query multiple chains at once.
This means you don't have to deal with the complexity and inefficiency of querying multiple APIs to get the data you need for each wallet or user.
- Marketplace data
Expanded coverage — includes sales, floor prices, current and historical listings on Blur, OpenSea, X2Y2, LooksRare, Tensor, Magic Eden, Trove.
Without broad coverage of NFT market data, you can't give users a full picture into the value of their collectibles.
- Media handling
Enhanced capabilities — quicker caching, adaptable previews, 3D model & video thumbnails, blurhashes, aspect ratios, detailed media metadata.
Reduce the amount of engineering time and cost spent on dealing with media pipelines, caching and conversions.
- Developer experience
Diverse access methods — RESTful API, webhooks, Kafka bulk streams, direct S3 export. Uniform request weighting (1:1) — no confusing billing processes.
Access NFT data via the delivery method that best suits your application. Easily ingest data into your own data warehouse or analytics platform.
- NFT UX
Wider NFT use cases coverage — LLM driven spam scores, OpenRarity, uniform trait data, optional market insights (+ NFT quantities, market valuations), reveal/drop event detection, Solana compressed NFT support.
Stay at the forefront of NFT standards, and weed out spam and low-quality NFTs.
- Collection handling
Improved management of difficult scenarios — Accurate sub-collection handling, automated collection updates and faster metadata refreshing.
Ensure your users have a seamless experience, and have their collections accurately grouped, without stale data or missing collectibles.
- Detailed ownership data
Comprehensive owner information — accessible via Ownership by Wallet/Collection/Contracts endpoints.
Deep dive into crucial ownership metrics and trends. Track whale activity, and identify the most active collectors.
