# How to get the metadata of a specific NFT

## What is NFT metadata?

NFT metadata is the set of descriptive information stored off-chain that details the attributes, properties, and additional content associated with an NFT. These details can be an image URL, its name, description, and attributes related to its uniqueness and ownership.

## How to do it with Moralis

Moralis has an NFT API that you can make use of, and they even provide a code sample for the wallet history use-case: 

* [Get NFT metadata](https://docs.moralis.io/web3-data-api/evm/reference/get-nft-metadata?address=0xb47e3cd837dDF8e4c57F05d70Ab865de6e193BBB\&token_id=1\&chain=eth\&format=decimal\&normalizeMetadata=true\&media_items=false)

To adapt their code sample, replace the reference to Ethereum with their ID for Chiliz Chain, `0x15b38`:

```typescript
import Moralis from 'moralis';

try {
  await Moralis.start({
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY"
  });

  const response = await Moralis.EvmApi.nft.getNFTMetadata({
    "chain": "0x15b38", // This is for Chiliz Chain Mainnet.
                        // For Spicy Testnet, use "0x15b32".
    "format": "decimal",
    "normalizeMetadata": true,
    "mediaItems": false,
    "address": "0xYourNFTContractAddress",
    "tokenId": "1"
  });

  console.log(response.raw);
} catch (e) {
  console.error(e);
}
```

## How to do it with Tatum

Tatum has an NFT submodule to its blockchain abstraction tool that we can make use of, and they even provide a code sample for the metadata-retrieval use-case: 

* [Get the metadata of a specific NFT](https://docs.tatum.io/docs/get-the-metadata-of-a-specific-nft)

To adapt their code sample, replace the reference to Ethereum with Chiliz Chain:

```typescript
import {TatumSDK, Network, Chiliz, ResponseDto, NftTokenDetail} from '@tatumio/tatum'

const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<Chiliz>({network: Network.CHILIZ})

const metadata: ResponseDto<NftTokenDetail|null> = await tatum.nft.getNftMetadata({
  tokenAddress: '0xYourNFTContractAddress', // replace with your collection
  tokenId: '1'
})

console.log(metadata.data)
```

## How to do it with thirdweb

thirdweb we can take inspiration from source code hosted on their documentation site:

* [ThirdwebNftMedia](https://portal.thirdweb.com/react/v4/components/ThirdwebNftMedia#usage)

Here is how we could adapt that into code to retrieve metadata:

```typescript
const { ThirdwebSDK } = require("@thirdweb-dev/sdk");

const sdk = new ThirdwebSDK("https://rpc.chiliz.com");
const nftContractAddress = "0xYourNFTContractAddress";
const tokenId = "YourTokenID";

async function getNFTMetadata() {
  try {
    const nftContract = await sdk.getNFTCollection(nftContractAddress);
    const nftMetadata = await nftContract.get(tokenId);
    console.log(`Metadata of NFT ${tokenId}:`, nftMetadata);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error fetching NFT metadata:", error);
  }
}

getNFTMetadata();
```

## How to do it with Nodit

Nodit provides the following code sample [in their doc](https://developer.nodit.io/reference/chiliz-getnftmetadatabytokenids):

```typescript
const url = 'https://web3.nodit.io/v1/chiliz/mainnet/nft/getNftMetadataByTokenIds';
const options = {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    accept: 'application/json',
    'content-type': 'application/json',
    'X-API-KEY': 'nodit-demo'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    tokens: [
      {contractAddress: '0xBC4CA0EdA7647A8aB7C2061c2E118A18a936f13D', tokenId: '1'},
      {contractAddress: '0xBC4CA0EdA7647A8aB7C2061c2E118A18a936f13D', tokenId: '2'}
    ]
  })
};

fetch(url, options)
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(json => console.log(json))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
```
