How to batch mint NFTs to multiple destinations?

This guide will explain how you can mint and send NFTs to multiple wallets in a batch.

Scenario Explained

In this guide we will be working with the NFT-API, and cover a more advanced use case, where you want to distribute a certain type of NFT immediately to several different wallet addresses and perhaps even a different amount for each address.

End Result

Distributing different amount of an NFT to different addresses in one call.

Prerequisites

  1. You need an account on the Venly Developer Portal, if you don't have one, click here to register in our Developer Portal, or follow our step-by-step guide, Getting Started with Venly.
  2. You need an active trial or paid subscription of the NFT-API. You can start a 30-day free trial for the NFT-API as shown below.
  3. You need your Client ID and Client Secret which can be obtained from the Portal as shown below.
  4. You need a contract with a contractId and token-type with typeId . Learn how to create a contract and token-type.

Batch Minting NFTs

We will use the following endpoint along with the contractId and typeId in the path. We have specified three different wallet addresses in the request body.

Similarly you can add up to 100 different wallet addresses by following the syntax in the request body. While specifying the wallet address, you can also specify the number of NFTs you wish to mint per wallet address.

In this example, we have specified one NFT for the first address, two NFTs for the second address, and one NFT for the third address.

Request Endpoint: reference

Under the mintedTokens array, you can find individual transaction hash for each minted NFT listed with the wallet address and respective tokenId.

tokenId: This is a unique identifier which distinguishes one NFT from another which are minted under the same contract and token-type.
