Create an NFT
Configure the NFT’s metadata and mint it to a wallet address
1. Configure your application
After getting your application set up in your creator portal, grab the needed:
- auth token
- application id
- contract id that the NFT will be minted from
- token template id to use as a base for your NFTs metadata
# Get an auth token using your Developer Portal credentials.
AUTH_TOKEN = ""
# Your application id is also in the Developer Portal.
APP_ID = ""
# Get your contract id from a previously created contract, or create a new one.
CONTRACT_ID = ""
# Get your template id from a template associated with your contract, or create
# a new one.
TOKEN_TEMPLATE_ID = ""
2. Set the wallet to receive the NFT
This wallet address will receive the minted token.
# Set the address to mint the NFT to
WALLET = ""
3. Configure the NFT metadata
Set the metadata for the NFT. You can modify this after its minted.
# Configure the NFT's metadata
TOKEN = {
"image": "",
"name": "Recipe NFT",
"description": "Creating an example NFT using Bitski.",
"tokenTemplateId": TOKEN_TEMPLATE_ID,
"contractId": CONTRACT_ID,
}
4. Mint a NFT!
Send a POST request to the API with the wallet and token metadata in the request body. You should receive a 201 status code if it worked.
def mint_nft(auth_token, app_id, wallet, metadata):
"""Mint a NFT to a wallet of your choice."""
response = requests.post(
f"https://api.bitski.com/v1/apps/{app_id}/tokens",
json={"initialOwner": wallet, "token": metadata},
headers={
"Authorization": f"Bearer {auth_token}",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
)
print("NFT minted successfully", response.status_code == 201)
return response
