Get wallet history

Retrieve a detailed list of all transactions made by a wallet address, including transfers, smart contract interactions, and token movements.


Description

GET /wallets/:address/history

The wallet history API lets you view everything that’s happened with a specific wallet address on a supported blockchain. Use it to:

  • Track user activity or spending history
  • Analyze smart contract interactions
  • Build dashboards or analytics tools around wallet data

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
addressstringYesThe wallet address you want to retrieve history for. Must be a valid EVM address.
chainstringNoethThe blockchain network to query (e.g., eth, polygon, bsc)
from_blocknumberNoThe minimum block number from which to get the transactions
to_blocknumberNoThe maximum block number from which to get the transactions
cursorstringNoThe cursor returned in the previous response (used for getting the next page)
orderstringNoDESCThe order of the result, in ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC)
nft_metadatabooleanNoWhether the result should contain the nft metadata
tip

The maximum value for limit is 100. If you need to fetch more results, use pagination with the cursor parameter.

Example request

curl -X GET \
"https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/wallets/0x123456789/history?chain=eth&limit=3" \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Example response

{
"cursor": "eyJhb...",
"page": 1,
"page_size": 3,
"total": 102,
"result": [
{
"hash": "0x97d...",
"block_number": 18103562,
"from_address": "0x123...",
"to_address": "0xdef...",
"value": "1000000000000000000",
"value_formatted": "1.0 ETH",
"status": "success",
"timestamp": "2024-05-22T10:00:00Z"
}
]
}

Common pitfalls

IssueWhy It HappensHow to Fix
Transactions missingSome blockchains (like Polygon) may delay indexing.Try again in a few minutes or confirm the transaction on a block explorer.
status field missingNot all blockchains return success/failure data for historical transactions.Use Moralis Streams API for live confirmation instead.
Empty result setThe wallet may be new or not active on the chain queried.Double-check the address and chain value.

Key notes

  • Works for EVM-compatible chains only (Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Avalanche, etc.)
  • Data is indexed and refreshed every few seconds, but may slightly lag behind real-time
  • Rate limits apply depending on your Moralis plan

Example use case

Suppose you’re building a dashboard that shows a user’s on-chain activity. You can use this endpoint to fetch their transaction history and visualize it using a chart or table — similar to how Etherscan displays it.
