Quicknode Core Workflow B

QuickNode Core Workflow B — NFT & Token APIs

Overview

Use QuickNode's NFT and Token APIs to fetch metadata, check balances, and track transfer history. These are QuickNode-specific add-on APIs beyond standard EVM RPC.

Prerequisites

• Completed quicknode-core-workflow-a
• Token and NFT add-ons enabled on your QuickNode endpoint

Instructions

Step 1: Get Token Balances (QuickNode SDK)

import { Core } from '@quicknode/sdk';

const core = new Core({ endpointUrl: process.env.QUICKNODE_ENDPOINT });

// Get all ERC-20 token balances for a wallet
const balances = await core.client.request({
  method: 'qn_getWalletTokenBalance',
  params: [{ wallet: '0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045' }],
});
for (const token of balances.result) {
  console.log(`${token.name} (${token.symbol}): ${token.quantity}`);
}

Step 2: Get NFT Metadata

const nfts = await core.client.request({
  method: 'qn_fetchNFTs',
  params: [{
    wallet: '0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045',
    contracts: ['0xBC4CA0EdA7647A8aB7C2061c2E118A18a936f13D'],  // BAYC
    page: 1,
    perPage: 10,
  }],
});
for (const nft of nfts.result.assets) {
  console.log(`${nft.name} — Token ID: ${nft.tokenId}`);
  console.log(`  Image: ${nft.imageUrl}`);
}

Step 3: Track ERC-20 Transfers

const transfers = await core.client.request({
  method: 'qn_getWalletTokenTransactions',
  params: [{
    address: '0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045',
    contract: '0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48',  // USDC
    page: 1,
    perPage: 10,
  }],
});
for (const tx of transfers.result.transfers) {
  console.log(`${tx.from} -> ${tx.to}: ${tx.value} at block ${tx.blockNumber}`);
}

Step 4: Standard ERC-20 Balance (No Add-on Required)

import { ethers } from 'ethers';

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider(process.env.QUICKNODE_ENDPOINT);
const erc20Abi = ['function balanceOf(address) view returns (uint256)', 'function decimals() view returns (uint8)', 'function symbol() view returns (string)'];
const token = new ethers.Contract('0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48', erc20Abi, provider);

const [balance, decimals, symbol] = await Promise.all([
  token.balanceOf('0xWalletAddress'),
  token.decimals(),
  token.symbol(),
]);
console.log(`${symbol} balance: ${ethers.formatUnits(balance, decimals)}`);

Output

• ERC-20 token balances for any wallet
• NFT metadata with images and attributes
• Transfer history for token tracking
• Direct contract reads for standard operations
