Buying an NFT

To buy an NFT, follow these steps

  1. Connect Wallet: Ensure the user's wallet is connected. This can be done using wallet connect protocols.
  2. Find an NFT which you want to purchase
  3. Execute purchase transaction using SDK
// Fetch NFT information from the API
// Replace X with contract address and Y with tokenId
const item = await sdk.apis.item.getItemById({ itemId: toItemId("ETHEREUM:X:Y") })

// This will buy 1 NFT using best (cheapest) order for the specified NFT
const tx = await sdk.order.buy({
  orderId: toOrderId(item.bestSellOrder.id),
  amount: 1, //amount of NFTs to purchase (in case it's multiple NFT, e.g. ERC-1155)
})

// Later on you can watch for transaction status using this tx instance
  1. Confirm transaction using your wallet
  2. After transaction is confirmed user who sent the transaction should be owner of the NFT
