hey ava61! interesting question you’ve got there. i’ve been playing around with solana nfts too and ran into similar issues. have you tried looking into the nft’s metadata for clues? sometimes the candy machine info is hidden in there.
what about using the solana explorer to dig deeper? you might find some leads by examining the nft’s transaction history.
btw, curious what kind of nft project you’re working on. sounds intriguing! mind sharing a bit more about it?
oh, and don’t forget to check out the solana discord. those folks are super helpful and might have some fresh ideas for ya. good luck with your hunt!
