Solana has changed their website to suppress mint information.

Solana has recently made changes to their website Solscan
All blockchain data is public knowledge and available.
However Solscan has recently changed their website to suppress this data.
A search for a contract address
(example - Trump https://solscan.io/token/6p6xgHyF7AeE6TZkSmFsko444wqoP15icUSqi2jfGiPN ) will return purchases of the token.

you may see page after page of dense data. (yum!)

The Page 1 of 100 will expand to allow one to view all transactions of the token. In case of this token
More than 1,000,000 transfer(s) are available.
I should be able to click and view any one of those transfers.

Now you can also view mints of a token

For example with
Peanut the Squirrel 2qEHjDLDLbuBgRYvsxhc5D6uDWAivNFZGan56P1tpump
If we wanted to find the mint of it (when it was created) we can apply
The url =ACTIVITY_SPL_MINT to show the mint of a token. Example

https://solscan.io/token/2qEHjDLDLbuBgRYvsxhc5D6uDWAivNFZGan56P1tpump?activity_type=ACTIVITY_SPL_MINT

Will show the Mint of Peanut the Squirrel

Now. If I take that timestamp

10-31-2024 14:21:40

and apply a time filter

https://solscan.io/token/2qEHjDLDLbuBgRYvsxhc5D6uDWAivNFZGan56P1tpump?time=1730336461000&time=1735689599000

I will get the tokens which purchased at that time. (as expected)

More than 1,000,000 transfer(s)

This works as expected

now lets take another token Bonk

DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263

and apply the same filter.

https://solscan.io/token/DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263?activity_type=ACTIVITY_SPL_MINT

Solana will not return the mint.
Solscan has changed BOTH THEIR API AND WEBSITE
to no longer show the mint tokens. again - this used to work.
Instead I now get a bullshit (and it is bullshit) notice that "all data may not be there"
Data only available from 09/30/2024.

Note that there is no difference between

https://solscan.io/token/2qEHjDLDLbuBgRYvsxhc5D6uDWAivNFZGan56P1tpump?activity_type=ACTIVITY_SPL_MINT

And

https://solscan.io/token/DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263?activity_type=ACTIVITY_SPL_MINT

Aside from the token. Solscan is suppressing the data of the mint under pretense that "its not there" when it totally was before. From what I can tell they are adding a slot of time, and hiding the transactions if it falls past that time limit. - one that does not exist and is fully imposed by them.

The samething seems to happen if you use Solscan API for

import { getMint } from "@solana/spl-token";

Which is documentation from their own dang support. The API fails to show mint data where it worked before.

Maybe they just don't have the data?

No its there. Here's a transaction for a random token

That time error happens because the site does not reflect you are viewing a page its been told to tell you is not there. Because before it would show.

What does this mean?
Older transactions can still be accessed through direct transaction links. This proves that the data is not lost or absent from the blockchain. these queries worked before. the data is there. They are acting like its not.
