Description
Fetches all NFTs for a given contract address and yields them in an async iterable.
This method returns the full NFTs in the contract and pages through all page keys until all NFTs have been fetched. To get all NFTs without their associated metadata, use the options parameter by setting omitMetadata to true in the body of the request.
Parameters

pageKey? | string | Optional page key from an existing OwnedBaseNftsResponse or OwnedNftsResponse to use for pagination. |
pageSize? | number | Sets the total number of NFTs to return in the response. It defaults to 100. Maximum page size is 100. |
omitMetadata? | boolean | Optional boolean flag to omit NFT metadata. Defaults to false. |

Use Cases
Here are some potential use cases for the getNftsForContractIterator method:
-
Marketplace platforms: Marketplace platforms that enable buying and selling of NFTs often require the ability to search for specific NFTs based on contract addresses. The
getNftsForContractIteratormethod can be used to retrieve all NFTs associated with a given contract, allowing users to browse and search for NFTs from a particular collection. -
Wallet applications: Wallet applications that support NFTs may need to display all the NFTs owned by a user for a particular contract. The
getNftsForContractIteratormethod can be used to retrieve all NFTs associated with a specific contract that is owned by a given address. -
NFT explorer tools: NFT explorer tools allow users to browse and search for NFTs on the blockchain. These tools often require the ability to query the blockchain for NFTs associated with a specific contract. The
getNftsForContractIteratormethod can be used to retrieve all NFTs associated with a given contract, which can then be displayed and searched through an explorer tool.
