How to interpret asset transactions data for a NFT?
# How to interpret asset transactions data for a NFT?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-11-12)

Using the blockfrost API I quired the transaction history of a NFT using the following script:

from blockfrost import BlockFrostApi, ApiError, ApiUrls


api = BlockFrostApi(
    project_id='my_secret_key',  
    base_url=ApiUrls.mainnet.value,
)

try:
    health = api.health()
    print(health) 

    assets = api.assets_policy(my_policy_id)
    asset_history = api.asset_transactions(assets[13].asset, return_type='pandas')
    print(asset_history)

except ApiError as e:
    print(e)

My questions:

Does each line represent a transaction where the NFT was transferred from one address to another address? If not, why are there so many transactions?

What is the tx_index?

Is the block height simply the size of the new block added to the
ledger? (in bytes?)

Where can I find a reference so that I can easily answer these
questions myself and not have to create a StackOverflow post each
time?

* Correct, that is the history of transaction of that specific asset
* That is the index of the transaction within a block
* `block_height` is the height of the block, in other words, it is the number of the block in the blockchain
* Directly on [docs.blockfrost.io](https://docs.blockfrost.io/), go to the specific endpoint and click on the `200` response to roll down the descriptions of each fields:
