This modules allows you to create, mint, transfer and burn NFTs on the Solana blockchain using Python.
First, clone down the repository
Create a virtual environment and install the dependencies in requirements.txt. Be sure to use a version of Python >= 3.6
python3 -m virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txtAt this point, you should be good to go.
To create a MetaplexAPI object, you need to pass a dicitonary to the constructor with the following keys:
cfg = {
"PRIVATE_KEY": YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY,
"PUBLIC_KEY": YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY,
"DECRYPTION_KEY": SERVER_DECRYPTION_KEY
}
api = MetaplexAPI(cfg)The keypair that is passed into the MetaplexAPI serves as the fee payer for all network transactions (creating new wallets, minting tokens, transferring tokens, etc). Both keys are base58 encoded.
The decryption key ensures that messages sent to a server that utilizes this API will not be receiving unencrypted private keys over the wire. These private keys are necessary for signing transactions. The client can encrypt their data by using the same decryption key as the server. This is the syntax:
from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
cipher = Fernet(DECRYPTION_KEY) # This is the same key that the server has
encrypted_key = cipher.encrypt(SECRET)
# Send `encrypted_key` to the downstream server to processThis section will go through the following story (if you look at the code snippets) and invoke each of the methods in the API along the way:
1) Account A is created and airdropped 10 SOL
2) A creates an NFT N
3) Account B is created
4) A pays B's rent fee
5) N is minted to B associated token account
6) Account C is created
7) A pays C's rent fee
8) B transfers N to C
9) C destroys N
Let's get started:
$ python3 -i -m api.metaplex_api
>>> deploy will create a new NFT token by
1) Creating a new account from a randomly generated address (invokes CreateAccount from the System Program)
2) Invoking InitializeMint on the new account
3) Initializing the metadata for this account by invoking the CreateMetatdata instruction from the Metaplex protocol
Args:
api_endpoint: (str) The RPC endpoint to connect the network. (devnet, mainnet)
name: (str) Name of the NFT Contract (32 bytes max)
symbol: (str) Symbol of the NFT Contract (10 bytes max)
skip_confirmation=True: A flag that tells you to wait for the transaction to be confirmed if set to False (only used for testing, because it requires synchronized/sequential calls)
Example:
>>> account = KeyPair()
>>> cfg = {"PRIVATE_KEY": base58.b58encode(account.seed).decode("ascii"), "PUBLIC_KEY": str(account.public_key), "DECRYPTION_KEY": Fernet.generate_key().decode("ascii")}
>>> api_endpoint = "https://api.devnet.solana.com/"
>>> Client(api_endpoint).request_airdrop(account.public_key, int(1e10))
