How to tokenize assets using the WakeUp API

WakeUp Platform Walkthrough to tokenize assets.

Bring your NFTs ideas to life! Using our APIs, you can easily tokenize assets programmatically. It's just a simple Web2 API REST call with all the information needed, and we take care of the rest; no previous blockchain experience is necessary.


🟣 First of all, sign up & get an API Key. To use our services, you need to sign up & follow the steps to create a free API key just with your email.

When you complete the registration go to the API Key section, and you should see the API key information:


Copy the API key generated and save it. This is your credential to access our services, so keep it safe 🔐 🙌

🟣 Time to start tokenizing your assets!

After getting your API key, follow the next steps to tokenize an asset:

  1. Upload the file to IPFS to use it as an Image using our service. This step is optional, any image URL will do in the minter service, but IPFS is better for more decentralization.

  2. Tokenize an asset interacting with the /mint endpoint. The image field should be completed with the link generated in the previous step (or another image URL you would like to use).

  3. The /mint endpoint will return the hash of the operation and the tokenId created when completed if everything went alright.

🟣 Getting Minted Tokens from a specific address.

To retrieve all minted tokens by a specific address, you will need to:

  1. Go to the GET method Get NFTs by mint address.

  2. Complete the API key field and the address you want to retrieve NFTs.

  3. The service will respond with all the information associated with the NFTs that the wallet address previously minted.

🟣 Getting metadata from an Asset. To retrieve the metadata from a specific Asset, you need to:

  1. Go to the GET method Get NFT by tokenId.

  2. Complete the API key field and the tokenId of the NFT you need to obtain metadata from.

  3. The service will respond with all the information associated with that specific NFT.
