Very cool!! Is there a way to search for 3D model types? Like STLs or GLB files? I am creating an API over at https://heyrobot.org for 3D models... mostly for 3D printing, but would be awesome to reference any 3D models on SimpleHash on HeyRobot, so people can view them in 3D.

We do pass through 3D files when the NFT metadata includes them, but we don't have an explicit search function. This is a great product suggestion though, to do search by media type in general.

I worked on similar project https://openstory.io/data-api we can help you achive that. We're still in beta-testing right now but we do have capability to find 3D models.

This looks great, have you considered opening this up to other NFT use cases? ESG Assets are a big under the radar industry that is basically developed using NFTs If so would love to discuss!

Sounds interesting - we'd love to discuss: founders@simplehash.com

Interesting product, I use moralis quite a bit for this type of service. I'm curious how you differentiate yourselves from them.

Thanks - we aim to have a broader set of chains and testnets, that can all be queried from a single endpoint. We also provide a couple of things that make it easier to deal with media, like cached versions and preview sizes via a CDN. We also pull in active floor prices and collection metadata from multiple marketplaces, even when it's stored off-chain.

Serious question as someone who owns none: NFTs still a thriving thing?

That could do with some analysis attached. The stats seem to say no, it's not a thriving thing and people are building on the hope that it returns as something useful in the future.

The whole crypto industry seems to be suffering from acute loss-of-interest right now.
