🆕🐥 First Timers Only

This issue is reserved for people who have never contributed to this project or any open source project in general.
We know that creating a pull request (PR) is a major barrier for new contributors.
The goal of this issue and all other issues labeled by 'good first issue' is to help you make your first contribution.

👾 Description of the issue

The code already cotains the com.openelements.hedera.base.NftRepository interface that acts as a rapper around REST calls against a Mirror Node. Here only some specific of the REST endpoints that are provided by a Mirror Node are used. A full documentation of the REST API can be found here. Next to that Hedera provides a Swagger UI for specific mirror nodes. The Swagger UI for the Mirror Node of the Hedera testnet can be found here.

As you can see in the documentation and Swagger UI the Mirror Node expose a lot of information. Some of this information is specific to network information and for that an NetworkRepository interface should be defined that is similar to the NftRepository.

Next to the interface definition an implementation (see NftRepositoryImpl class for reference) and unit tests must be created.

I am sorry but I dont know how to achieve this, I tried and it seems like more than a first time contribution. If I have unlimited time I would pursue it further but it seems past my skillset
