Analyzing NFT Rarity

Overview

NFT rarity analysis skill that:

• Fetches collection metadata from OpenSea API
• Parses and normalizes trait attributes
• Calculates rarity using multiple algorithms
• Ranks tokens by composite rarity score
• Exports data in JSON and CSV formats

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+ with requests library
• Optional: OPENSEA_API_KEY for higher rate limits
• Optional: ALCHEMY_API_KEY for direct metadata fetching

Instructions

1. Analyze a Collection

cd {baseDir}/scripts && python3 rarity_analyzer.py collection boredapeyachtclub

Options:

• --limit 500: Fetch more tokens for analysis
• --top 50: Show top 50 tokens
• --traits: Include trait distribution
• --rarest: Show rarest traits
• --algorithm [statistical|rarity_score|average|information]

2. Check Specific Token

cd {baseDir}/scripts && python3 rarity_analyzer.py token pudgypenguins 1234

3. Compare Multiple Tokens

cd {baseDir}/scripts && python3 rarity_analyzer.py compare azuki 1234,5678,9012

4. View Trait Distribution

cd {baseDir}/scripts && python3 rarity_analyzer.py traits doodles

5. Export Rankings

JSON:

cd {baseDir}/scripts && python3 rarity_analyzer.py export coolcats > rankings.json

CSV:

cd {baseDir}/scripts && python3 rarity_analyzer.py export coolcats --format csv > rankings.csv

6. Manage Cache

cd {baseDir}/scripts && python3 rarity_analyzer.py cache --list
cd {baseDir}/scripts && python3 rarity_analyzer.py cache --clear

Rarity Algorithms

Algorithm	Description	Best For
rarity_score	Sum of 1/frequency (default)	General use, matches rarity.tools
statistical	Same as rarity_score	Backward compatibility
average	Mean of trait rarities	Balanced scoring
information	Entropy-based (-log2)	Information theory approach

Output

• Collection Summary: Name, supply, trait types
• Rankings: Tokens sorted by rarity score with percentile
• Token Detail: Full trait breakdown with contribution
• Comparison: Side-by-side trait comparison

Supported Collections

Works with any ERC-721/ERC-1155 collection that has:

• OpenSea listing
• Standard attributes array format
• Accessible metadata

Error Handling

See {baseDir}/references/errors.md for:

• API rate limiting
• IPFS gateway issues
• Collection not found
• Token ID not found

Examples

See {baseDir}/references/examples.md for:

• Collection analysis workflows
• Token comparison
• Export and caching
• Algorithm comparison
