# getCredentialNFTFromLocator

> **getCredentialNFTFromLocator**(`locator`): `Promise`\<`object`>

Retrieves a Verifiable Credential NFT from a locator.

This function performs the following steps:

1. Parses the locator string to extract NFT details.
2. Verifies that the NFT belongs to a supported Verifiable Credentials chain.
3. Fetches the NFT's metadata and verifies it belongs to a Verifiable Credentials collection.
4. Returns the NFT and the corresponding credentials collection.
