Ultimately, this operation enables you to navigate the dynamic NFT market with confidence and manage your digital assets more effectively.

How to trace the history of a specific NFT on the Ethereum network

// yarn add @tatumio/tatum
import {TatumSDK, Network, Ethereum, ResponseDto, NftTransaction} from '@tatumio/tatum'

const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<Ethereum>({network: Network.ETHEREUM})

const txs: ResponseDto<NftTransaction[]> = await tatum.nft.getAllNftTransactions({
  tokenId: '14721',
  tokenAddress: '0xccb9d89e0f77df3618eec9f6bf899be3b5561a89', // replace with your collection
})

console.log(txs.data)

// Install with: npm install @tatumio/tatum
const { TatumSDK, Network } = require("@tatumio/tatum");

(async () => {
  try {
    const tatum = await TatumSDK.init({ network: Network.ETHEREUM });
    const txs = await tatum.nft.getAllNftTransactions({
      tokenId: '14721',
      tokenAddress: '0xccb9d89e0f77df3618eec9f6bf899be3b5561a89', // replace with your collection
    });
    console.log(txs.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error fetching wallet balance:", error);
  }
})();
