Does ONTO have an API?

ONTO does not explicitly mention a public API in their NFT API Reference. However, the API provides access to NFT-related information such as fetching NFTs from the marketplace, fetching NFT details, and fetching NFTs by wallet and contract address. Instead of using ONTO's API, an alternative is to use Mesh, which connects users to their accounts across various digital asset exchanges and wallets, including ONTO.

How to access ONTO’s public API

ONTO is a wallet that provides an NFT API reference, enabling users to receive, display, and send NFTs that haven't been published on GhostMarket or OpenSea using ONTO. The API supports NFT standards ERC-721 and ERC-1155, and uses REST-API protocol with JSON data format. More information can be found in the ONTO Wallet Help Center.

Users can access ONTO's public API to interact with their digital assets. The API documentation, available at the ONTO Wallet Help Center, provides details on how to fetch NFTs from the marketplace, fetch NFT details, and fetch NFTs by wallet and contract address. However, an alternative to using ONTO's public API is to use Mesh, which offers a seamless way to connect users to their accounts across various platforms. More information on Mesh can be found in the Mesh Quickstart Guide.

What does ONTO’s API documentation look like?

ONTO Wallet's NFT API Reference provides developers with the necessary information to interact with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) using ONTO Wallet's API. This documentation covers receiving, displaying, and sending NFTs that haven't been published on GhostMarket or OpenSea. It includes an overview of NFT standards, API protocol, and data format, as well as a comprehensive list of APIs with detailed explanations and sample requests and responses. To dive deeper into ONTO's API documentation, visit their NFT API Reference page.
