Request parameters

Parameter	Description	Required
chainName	String representing the name of the chain. A list of available chains can be found here	Yes
contractAddress	The contract address of ERC721 contract you want to filter by; mandatory for collection-based requests, including metadata refresh requests	No
accountAddress	The Ethereum address of a wallet holding NFTs; mandatory for owner-based requests	No
Pagination parameters	Parameters such as page_size and page_cursor that allow you to control the size and order of the data retrieved	No

Get a single metadata

This request allows you to get details of a specific metadata object referenced by a metadata_id. A metadata_id corresponds to the metadata of all stacked NFTs that shares the same metadata attributes.

SDK

get-metadata.tsView on GitHub

import { blockchainData } from "@imtbl/sdk";
import { client } from "../lib";

export async function getMetadata(
  chainName: string,
  contractAddress: string,
  metadataId: string
): Promise<blockchainData.Types.GetMetadataResult> {
  return await client.getMetadata({
    chainName,
    contractAddress,
    metadataId,
  });
}

API

Using Immutable's API you can get a specific metadata for a given collection with the following GetMetadata API call; which will produce a result in the below format.
