# Rarible NFT API

Multi-chain NFT API providing unified access to NFT items, collections, activities, metadata, orders, and analytics across multiple blockchains. The API exposes 20 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically search nfts, search nft ownerships. Covers 20 operations with apiKey authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for analytics only.

## Capabilities

- Search NFTs
- Get NFT item by ID
- Access Rarible NFT API analytics resources via REST API

## Use cases

### Analytics Operations

Use the Rarible NFT API to perform analytics operations programmatically. The API provides 20 endpoints covering core functionality including search nfts, search nft ownerships, search activities.

Example prompt: Call POST `/items/search` to search nfts

### Automated Items Management

Automate items operations by combining multiple Rarible NFT API endpoints. Agents can search nft ownerships and then search activities in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call POST `/ownerships/search` to search nft ownerships, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Rarible NFT API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'search nfts', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Rarible NFT API by hand means passing its X-API-KEY header on every call and hand-coding requests across its item, ownership, and activity search endpoints. Through Jentic you install once, import the Rarible NFT API from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Rarible exposes item ids in the URL path (`/items/{itemId}`) while its search endpoints take their filters in the request body, so a rule can pin your agent to reading one item, and its search operations stay scoped by the operations you allow. You limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as searching items or reading one item, so anything beyond that is not included unless you add it.
- **Credential handling:** Your Rarible API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'search NFTs' or 'get an item by id', and Jentic returns the matching Rarible operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Rarible NFT API use?

The Rarible NFT API uses an API key passed in the `X-API-KEY` header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.

### Can I search nfts with the Rarible NFT API?

Yes. Use the POST `/items/search` endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the Rarible NFT API?

Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.

### How do I search nfts through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'search nfts'. Jentic returns the matching Rarible NFT API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the Rarible NFT API have?

The Rarible NFT API exposes 20 endpoints covering items, collections, orders operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Rarible NFT API?

Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, your own rules decide which Rarible operations and credentials the agent may use. You can allow only the calls it needs, such as POST `/items/search` to search NFTs or GET `/items/{itemId}` to read a single item, while withholding ownership, activity, collection, and order operations it should not touch. Anything you have not explicitly allowed stays off limits, so the agent cannot reach beyond the scope you set.
