This guide will walk you through the process of transferring NFTs from your wallet using the Crossmint transactions API.

​
Prerequisites

Ensure you have a wallet created. You can follow the Quickstart for server wallets to prepare one. You will need:

  • API Key: Ensure you have an API key with the scope: wallets:transactions.create
  • Wallet Address: The locator of the wallet you want to transfer the NFT from.
  • NFT Details: The contract address and token ID of the NFT you want to transfer.

​
Sending the Transaction

We will use the Create Transaction API.

First, we need to prepare the transaction data that will encode the transferFrom function call for the NFT contract:

import { encodeFunctionData } from 'viem';

const fromAddress = '0x...'; // Your wallet address
const toAddress = '0x...';   // Recipient address
const tokenId = '1';         // The NFT token ID

// Encode the transfer function data
const data = encodeFunctionData({
    abi: [{
        name: 'transferFrom',
        type: 'function',
        inputs: [
            { name: 'from', type: 'address' },
            { name: 'to', type: 'address' },
            { name: 'tokenId', type: 'uint256' }
        ],
        outputs: [],
        stateMutability: 'nonpayable'
    }],
    args: [fromAddress, toAddress, tokenId]
});
console.log(data);
// > 0x23b872dd0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001

Now we can create the transaction using the encoded data:

const walletLocator = '0x...';
const apiKey = 'sk_staging...';
const signerAddress = '0x...';

async function sendTransaction() {
    const response = await fetch(
        `https://api.crossmint.com/2022-06-09/wallets/${walletLocator}/transactions`,
        {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                'X-API-KEY': apiKey,
            },
            body: JSON.stringify({
                params: {
                    calls: [{
                        to: nftContractAddress,
                        value: '0',
                        data: data
                    }],
                    chain: 'polygon-amoy',
                },
            }),
        }
    );

    return await response.json();
}
