How to get the owner of an NFT

Prerequisites

Before getting started, make sure you have the following ready:

• Node v.14+ or Python
• NPM/Yarn or Pip

Step 1: Setup Moralis

First register your Moralis account and get your Moralis API Key.

Once you have your Moralis API Key, install the Moralis SDK in your project.

npm

npm install moralis @moralisweb3/common-evm-utils

yarn

yarn add moralis @moralisweb3/common-evm-utils

pnpm

pnpm add moralis @moralisweb3/common-evm-utils

pip

pip install moralis

Step 2: Get All NFTs Owned By An Address

In order to get all the owners of an NFT, Moralis provides you with a getNFTTokenIdOwners endpoint to do so.

Here you'll need three parameters: address, token_id and chain.

Once you've obtained the required parameters, you can copy the following code:

index.js (JavaScript)

const Moralis = require("moralis").default;
const { EvmChain } = require("@moralisweb3/common-evm-utils");

const runApp = async () => {
  await Moralis.start({
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    // ...and any other configuration
  });

  const address = "0xa186d739ca2b3022b966194004c6b01855d59571";

  const chain = EvmChain.ETHEREUM;

  const tokenId = "1";

  const response = await Moralis.EvmApi.nft.getNFTTokenIdOwners({
    address,
    chain,
    tokenId,
  });

  console.log(response.toJSON());
};

runApp();

index.ts (TypeScript)

import Moralis from "moralis";
import { EvmChain } from "@moralisweb3/common-evm-utils";

const runApp = async () => {
  await Moralis.start({
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    // ...and any other configuration
  });

  const address = "0xa186d739ca2b3022b966194004c6b01855d59571";

  const chain = EvmChain.ETHEREUM;

  const tokenId = "1";

  const response = await Moralis.EvmApi.nft.getNFTTokenIdOwners({
    address,
    chain,
    tokenId,
  });

  console.log(response.toJSON());
};

runApp();

index.py (Python)

from moralis import evm_api

api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
params = {
    "address": "0xa186d739ca2b3022b966194004c6b01855d59571",
    "token_id": "1",
    "chain": "eth",
    "format": "decimal",
    "limit": 100,
    "cursor": "",
    "normalizeMetadata": True,
}

result = evm_api.nft.get_nft_token_id_owners(
    api_key=api_key,
    params=params,
)

print(result)

Step 3: Run the script

To run the script, enter the following command:

Shell (JavaScript)

node index.js

Shell (TypeScript)

ts-node index.ts

Shell (Python)

python index.py

In your terminal, you should see the following JSON response:

{
  "total": 1,
  "page": 1,
  "page_size": 100,
  "cursor": null,
  "result": [
    {
      "token_address": "0xa186d739ca2b3022b966194004c6b01855d59571",
      "token_id": "1",
      "owner_of": "0xc81082690edc8cde6d83a7549aa6a74534305372",
      "block_number": "15821471",
      "block_number_minted": "15821471",
      "token_hash": "c4940b74fa9c9e1605316dc98f4a3eb3",
      "amount": "1",
      "contract_type": "ERC721",
      "name": "NFTPass",
      "symbol": "ATTPASS",
      "token_uri": "https://metadata.atticc.xyz/1",
      "metadata": "{\"attributes\":[{\"trait_type\":\"Name\",\"value\":\"Atticc Early Adopter Pass\"},{\"trait_type\":\"Category\",\"value\":\"Early Adopter Pass\"},{\"trait_type\":\"Number of Seats\",\"value\":\"5555\",\"display_type\":\"number\"},{\"trait_type\":\"Royalty\",\"value\":\"0\",\"display_type\":\"number\"}],\"image\":\"https://media.atticc.xyz/Pass1.webp\"}",
      "last_token_uri_sync": "2022-10-25T00:21:22.266Z",
      "last_metadata_sync": "2022-10-25T00:21:26.139Z",
      "minter_address": "0xc81082690edc8cde6d83a7549aa6a74534305372"
    }
  ]
}

Congratulations 🥳 you just got the owners of an NFT with just a few lines of code using the Moralis NFT API!
