Add Audio to your NFTs

In this guide, we will look into how you can add an audio or multiple audio files to your NFTs. Note that adding the audio will happen during the creation of the token-type (NFT template).

📘

You need to have the URL of the audio address that you wish to add. If you need to upload your media, then learn how to store your media/images on quantum Servers.

Prerequisites

1. You already have an NFT collection (contract) created using the NFT-API. Read the Getting Started guide if you haven't.

2. contractAddress: The public address of your NFT contract.

Request Endpoint: reference

HTTP

POST /api/v2/token-types/creations
