NFT Owners Api Route doesnt return burn address

Moralis General
#1

So, I was analyzing the specific holders for NFT Owners but it doesn’t include the burn address. For instance, for contract 0x0cfb5d82be2b949e8fa73a656df91821e2ad99fd it doesn’t include the burn address despite it being one of the top holders.

def getHolders(tok_add):
    addresses_dict = {}
    end = False
    cursor = ""
    count = 0
    while not end:
        tradeUrl = "https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2/nft/" + str(tok_add) + \
        "/owners?chain=eth&format=decimal" 
        if cursor != "":
            tradeUrl += "&cursor=%s" % cursor
        headers = {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "X-API-Key": APIKEY,
        }
        # get the response, if we fail once, end the search
        try:
            response = requests.request("GET", tradeUrl, headers=headers, timeout = 30)
            data = response.json()
            results = data["result"]
            cursor = data["cursor"]
            count+=1
        except Exception as err:
            return "Error"
        time.sleep(.3)
        # add each address to dict and update their count if they do
        # already exist
        for result in results:
            owner = result["owner_of"]
            if owner in addresses_dict:
                addresses_dict[result["owner_of"]][1] += 1
            else:
                count+= 1
                addresses_dict[result["owner_of"]] = [result["owner_of"], 1]
    print("For " + tok_add + " the number of holders is " + str(count))
    return addresses_dict


if __name__ == "__main__":
    ca = "0x0cfb5d82be2b949e8fa73a656df91821e2ad99fd"
    ktfdict = getHolders(ca)
    burn_address = "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
    if burn_address in ktfdict:
        print("Great")
    else:
        print("Not Great")

it prints “not great”. I also had other checks just trying to find the top holders by sorting and they always exclude the burn address

Zero address is not included. Mostly for performance reasons because there are too many nfts sent to that address.
