NFT Analyst Starter Pack

Enter your Alchemy API key and an NFT contract address, and with one command generate CSV extracts for all token transfers, historical sales, and each underlying item's metadata (with calculated rarity scores).

You can read more from us about what this is, and why it matters, here.

Getting Started

You will first need to obtain an Alchemy API key. You can sign up for a free account at alchemy.com.

Then, install the dependencies.

poetry install or pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Export Data

If you're using poetry, remember to prepend this command with poetry run or activate the appropriate environment with poetry shell while in the nft-analyst-starter-pack directory. You can learn more about poetry and how to properly install it here. If using Docker you can spin up a containerized environment with docker-compose up and cd into the container to run commands from the CLI. You can learn more about Docker Compose here.

python export_data.py --alchemy-api-key YourAPIKey --contract-address 0xED5AF388653567Af2F388E6224dC7C4b3241C544

The first argument is your Alchemy API key and the second argument is the contract address of the NFT collection you want to export (the example provided is Azuki).

End-to-End Example

export ALCHEMY_API_KEY=put_your_api_key_here
git clone https://github.com/a16z/nft-analyst-starter-pack && cd nft-analyst-starter-pack
poetry env use python3.9
poetry install
poetry shell
python export_data.py --alchemy-api-key $ALCHEMY_API_KEY --contract-address 0xED5AF388653567Af2F388E6224dC7C4b3241C544

Outputs

The data outputs are stored as three CSV files:

*Note: Category rarity scores are calculated as 1 divided by the statistical probability of selecting an item at random from the collection with the given trait. The overall rarity score is the sum of the category rarity scores.

Processing Time

The script can take up to ~5 minutes to run, depending on the contract's deployment date and the number of tokens in the collection.

Limitations

(1) Only compatible with Ethereum-based collections

(2) Only compatible with collections supported by Alchemy's NFT API

(3) Sales denominated in non-ETH/WETH values may produce misleading outputs

(4) ETH/USD prices are only tracked at a daily granularity

(5) The script is not compatible with Python >=3.10 at this time

Related Work and Credits

  • Alchemy: The transfers and sales output is generated using Ethereum JSON-RPC calls, powered by Alchemy. The metadata output is generated from Alchemy's NFT API.
  • ethereum-etl: A majority of the on-chain data extraction is done using ethereum-etl scripts.
  • CoinGecko: Historical ETH/USD prices are extracted using CoinGecko's public API.
