In order to get the top NFT collections by market cap, Moralis provides you with a getTopNFTCollectionsByMarketCap endpoint to do so. To use the API, you can copy the following code:

index.js (JavaScript)

const Moralis = require("moralis").default;
const { EvmChain } = require("@moralisweb3/common-evm-utils");

const runApp = async () => {
  await Moralis.start({
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    // ...and any other configuration
  });

  const response =
    await Moralis.EvmApi.marketData.getTopNFTCollectionsByMarketCap();

  console.log(response.raw);
};

runApp();

index.ts (TypeScript)

import Moralis from "moralis";
import { EvmChain } from "@moralisweb3/common-evm-utils";

const runApp = async () => {
  await Moralis.start({
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    // ...and any other configuration
  });

  const response =
    await Moralis.EvmApi.marketData.getTopNFTCollectionsByMarketCap();

  console.log(response.raw);
};

runApp();

index.py (Python)

from moralis import evm_api
import json

api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"

result = evm_api.market_data.get_top_nft_collections_by_market_cap(
  api_key=api_key,
)

print(result)

Step 3: Run the script
