NFT - OpenSea and listing problems

Modified on Mon, 19 Jun 2023 at 10:46 AM

When minting an NFT to the Opensea blockchain, you may get the following errors:

'(Opensea) - Wait till confirmation'
'Unexpected Error Occurred'

For the time being, Opensea does not list NFT minted via Tatum to what seems like due to sharing the same "name" (token ID), so the preview link will not work. This means that they will not appear on their platform.

To view NFTs, you can use an explorer such as NFTScan.

If you still want to use Opensea, remove the preview option from your code to avoid a compromised Experience. For further details, you may reach out Opensea Support.

Workaround

Mint NFTs using your own smart contract via NFT Express. This method allows providing your own [tokenId] as a parameter, so you can give it a unique name.

Example:

//Request Body Schema: "MintNFTMinter"

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.tatum.io/v3/nft/mint' \
--header 'x-api-key: your_api_key' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '
{
  "chain": "CELO",
  "to": "0x8ce4e40889a13971681391aad29e88##########",
  "url": "ipfs://QmXJJ6UF5WkF4WTJvsdhiA1etGwBLfpva7Vr##########",
  "contractAddress": "0x687422eEA2cB73B5d3e242bA5456b7##########",
  "tokenId": "0123",
  "minter": "0xBC2eBA680EE50d685cc4Fe65f102AA##########"
}'

When you make an API call with this request body, the private key of the NFT minter will be added to the request body automatically:

// Request Body Schema: "MintNft"

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.tatum.io/v3/nft/mint' \
--header 'x-api-key: your_api_key' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '
{ 
  "chain": "CELO",
  "to": "0x8ce4e40889a13971681391aad29e88##########",
  "url": "ipfs://QmXJJ6UF5WkF4WTJvsdhiA1etGwBLfpva7Vr9##########",
  "contractAddress": "0x687422eEA2cB73B5d3e242bA5456b7##########",
  "tokenId": "0123",
  "minter": "0xBC2eBA680EE50d685cc4Fe65f102AA##########",
  "fromPrivateKey": "0x05e150c73f1920ec14caa1e0b6aa09940899678051a78542840c26##########"
}'
