Edit NFTs

Editing an NFT

Some aspects of the blockchain are static and can't be changed, fortunately we can change individual NFT information.

Why would you need to edit NFT metadata?

Mistakes with original metadata
Changing whether the NFT is stored on-chain or off-chain
Add some extra information or traits to the metadata
Dynamic NFTs

If you need to edit any metadata on the NFT you can do so easily via the Minting API Edit NFT route.

Simply pass the new desired metadata as seen below and await an http 204 response code.
