How to get the owner of an NFT

Step 1: Setup Moralis

Read the article Setting Up Moralis: Getting Started and make sure to finish all the steps. Only after that you can go ahead to complete this guide.

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!
