Compute Unit Cost
The Collectibles endpoint’s CU cost equals the number of chains you include via thechain_ids query parameter. If you omit chain_ids, we use the endpoint’s chains tagged default (currently chains, subject to change). See the Supported Chains page to learn about chain tags.
For example, ?chain_ids=1,8453,137 processes three chains and currently consumes three CUs. Omitting chain_ids uses the default set at request time and consumes CUs (equal to the size of that set).
See the Compute Units page for detailed information.
Spam Filtering
By default, spam filtering for collectibles is enabled. Usefilter_spam=false to disable it. You can omit the parameter or set filter_spam=true to keep spam filtering enabled.
We provide spam scores to explain how a collectible is classified as spam or not.
Spam scores are off by default. Enable them with show_spam_scores=true.
Scores are computed as a weighted average across signals.
These include whether the collection has been flagged by external providers, trade volume since launch, and the number of unique buyers and sellers.
See the table below for the full list.
Spam Scoring Signals
Spam Scoring Signals
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
trade_volume | This is the total number of trades since collection launch. Very low activity can indicate spam. Collections launched in the last 7 days are excluded from this signal. |
unique_buyers | This is the count of distinct buyers. Low buyer diversity can indicate inorganic activity. |
unique_sellers | This is the count of distinct sellers. Low seller diversity can indicate inorganic activity. |
externally_flagged | Whether the collection has been flagged as spam by third-party providers. true increases the spam likelihood. |
ipfs_uri_present | This indicates whether token metadata URIs use IPFS. Certain patterns can correlate with spam when combined with other signals. |
suspicious_words | Whether names, symbols, or URIs include suspicious terms commonly associated with scams. |
url_shortener_in_uri | This indicates whether metadata URIs use link shorteners. For example, Bitly links can obscure destinations. |
explanations field and may be omitted if signals are unavailable.
