What is the Center API V2?

Center API V2: The next-generation crypto API

The Center API V2 is the next-generation crypto API — we took everything our users loved about V1 and built on it to create the fastest, most accurate and most powerful NFT available anywhere.

How do these differ from our v1 API endpoints?

  • Pristine accuracy: We rebuilt our indexing infrastructure from the ground up to ensure that we properly handle and categorize all transactions. This means our data quality is pristine, with new data available just seconds after new blocks are added.
  • Faster: We know speed is important. Our v2 APIs are even faster than v1.
  • More flexible: Our systems dynamically ingest data from the chain, meaning that our systems are built to handle a variety of asset and media types. Even if we haven't seen a particular asset type before, our infrastructure automatically adjusts to properly index and analyze it.
  • More powerful, and safer, rendering: Our V2 renderer handles more media types (audio and video) and allows users to customize media like never before. In V1, users were required to choose one of three media presets. With V2, users can specify precise dimensions and file types for NFT media (incl. on-the-fly media transformations). This also means users can ensure that malicious media files are never shown in their application by transforming media to “safe” file types (e.g., jpg).
