Request

Here is an example of how to make a getTransfersForContract request using the Alchemy SDK:

getTransfersForContract.js
1// Imports the Alchemy SDK
2const { Alchemy, Network } = require("alchemy-sdk");
3
4// Configures the Alchemy SDK
5const config = {
6  apiKey: "demo", // Replace with your API key
7  network: Network.ETH_MAINNET, // Replace with your network
8};
9
10// Creates an Alchemy object instance with the config to use for making requests
11const alchemy = new Alchemy(config);
12
13// Example of using the new getTransfersForContract method
14const main = async () => {
15  // The nft contract address to get transfers for
16  let contractAddress = "0x1F02bF9dDe7C79137a08B2Dd4FC964BfD2499734";
17
18  // Additional options for the request. (Optional)
19  let options = {
20    /** Starting block (inclusive) to get transfers from. */
21    fromBlock: 16564734,
22    /** Ending block (inclusive) to get transfers from. */
23    toBlock: 16567427,
24    /**
25     * Whether to return results in ascending or descending order by block number.
26     * Defaults to ascending if omitted.
27     */
28    order: "desc",
29  };
30
31  // Calling the getTransfersForContract method
32  let transfers = await alchemy.nft.getTransfersForContract(
33    contractAddress,
34    options
35  );
36
37  // Logging the response to the console
38  console.log(transfers);
39};
