Core API Reference
Our REST API handles everything from minting to marketplace
transactions. Most developers get their first NFT minted within 30
minutes of reading through this section.
The authentication system uses JWT tokens with a 24-hour expiry.
You'll want to implement refresh logic early – we've seen too many
projects scramble to add this later when users start complaining
about constant logouts.
// Mint a new NFT POST /api/v2/nft/mint { "name": "Digital Artwork
#001", "description": "Original digital creation", "image":
"ipfs://QmX7Y8Z9...", "attributes": [ {"trait_type": "Rarity",
"value": "Rare"}, {"trait_type": "Artist", "value": "Studio Alpha"}
], "royalty_percentage": 5.0 }
The metadata structure follows OpenSea standards, but we've added
some extra fields that make filtering and searching much faster. The
royalty system automatically handles splits between multiple creators
– something that took us months to get right in our early
versions.
Rate limits are set at 100 requests per minute for standard
accounts. Enterprise clients get dedicated endpoints with much higher
limits. We learned the hard way that marketplace launches can
generate massive traffic spikes.
