Read below to learn how to use AirSwap CLI to track NFT contract addresses.

Prerequisites:

• Install Node.js and npm. Note: This tutorial requires node version 14.x.x.

• Install yarn.

• Have an NFT minted on the Polygon Mumbai test network. Follow one of the following tutorials to mint an NFT on this network:

  • thirdweb: Create an NFT Lootbox with IPFS On Filebase and thirdweb

  • NFTPort: Create an NFT Collection with NFTPort

  • LivePeer: Mint a Video NFT with LivePeer

• Have the contract address of your NFT minted on the Polygon Mumbai network.

1. Download the AirSwap CLI package:

git clone https://github.com/airswap/airswap-cli.git

2. Navigate into the downloaded repository:

cd airswap-cli

3. Install the required packages:

yarn global add airswap

4. Confirm that AirSwap CLI is configured to use the Polygon Mumbai network (chain id 80001):

airswap chain

5. Next, let’s add our NFT’s contract address to the local metadata for AirSwap:

airswap metadata:add

When prompted, enter the following details:

• Ticker

• Name

• Decimals

• Contract Address

6. Once your NFT contract has been added, you can lookup the local metadata with the command:

airswap metadata:lookup

This returns a link to the Polygon scan website that shows the details of this contract address:

By using this workflow, you can keep track of the contract addresses for your NFTs in a simple CLI interface for quick access or query, which returns the direct link to the PolygonScan website for detailed information on your transaction!
