NFT Floor Price FAQs

What is an NFT floor price?​

The NFT floor price represents the lowest price for an NFT listed for sale in a particular collection. It gives a baseline indication of what the cheapest NFT in that collection is currently priced at.

Which chains are supported for floor price data?​

Currently, floor prices are only supported on Ethereum and Base.

Where do you fetch floor price data from?​

We fetch floor prices using data from two primary sources:

  • OpenSea API (for Ethereum and Base)
  • Magic Eden API: Magic Eden aggregates floor prices from multiple marketplaces, including OpenSea, Blur, X2Y2, and Magic Eden itself.

How often is the floor price refreshed?​

Floor prices are refreshed every 30 minutes.

What happens if an NFT collection has not been traded for a while?​

If an NFT collection has not been traded for 7 days, we stop updating the floor price. However, once trading resumes, we will start updating the floor price again.

What happens if I request a floor price for an NFT collection for the first time?​

If the NFT collection has never been requested before, the initial request will return a status 202 with the following message:

{
  "message": "This contract is currently being processed. Floor price data will be available shortly. Please try again later."
}

Once processed, floor price data will be available for subsequent requests.

Is historical floor price data automatically back-filled?​

No, historical floor price data is not automatically back-filled. There is no way to retrieve historical data through the OpenSea or Magic Eden APIs. We start saving historical prices in 30-minute intervals from the first request received for that collection.

What intervals can I request for historical floor price data?​

You can specify the following intervals for historical/time series data:

  • 1d interval: Data is returned every 15 minutes.
  • 7d interval: Data is returned hourly.
  • 30d interval: Data is returned hourly.
  • Greater than 30d intervals: Data is returned daily.

Can I access the floor price data for an inactive collection?​

If a collection has been inactive for more than 7 days, floor price data will no longer be updated until the collection becomes active again. However, previously saved historical data is still accessible.
