Retrieving Total Supply and Token URI

This document covers two essential functionalities provided by the edeXa ERC721 SDK: retrieving the total supply of minted tokens and fetching a token's URI. These operations are crucial for managing and interacting with Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).

Overview of the getTotalSupply Method

The getTotalSupply method enables you to inquire about the total number of tokens that have been minted within a specific smart contract.

---

Prerequisites

• Installation of the edeXa ERC721 SDK in your project.
• An authentication token obtained through the SDK's authentication method. This token is necessary to authorize your requests.

Sample Code Snippet

Here is a JavaScript code snippet demonstrating the use of the getTotalSupply method:

import { ERC721, Network } from 'edeXa-sdk';

async function getTotalSupply() {
  const settings = {
    network: Network.SANDBOX, // or Network.MAINNET for the mainnet network
    authorization: `Bearer ${token}`, // Replace 'token' with your own authentication token
  };

  const erc721 = new ERC721(settings);
  try {
    const getTotalSupplyResponse = await erc721.getTotalSupply({});
    // Handle success
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle error
  }
}
