Darkblock Docs

Developer Integration

Getting Started

Typical developer integration involves using the

Darkblock API⁠

to facilitate fault-tolerant, scalable minting of Darkblocks.

The Basics

First,

grab your API key⁠

Then you can use our swagger docs to try out

minting Darkblocks⁠

For upgrades, here is some example code to help you out:

NFT Upgrade Using Darkblock API

const axios = require('axios');

const FormData = require('form-data');

const { createReadStream }= require('fs')

/**

* Mints a Darkblock as an upgrade to an existing NFT.

* This involves uploading a file and providing details like NFT contract, token, and platform.

* A unique signature is required to verify the creator's identity.

* The signature is created by concatenating the NFT platform, NFT ID, and a SHA-256 hash of the uploaded file.

* @return {Promise<Object>} The response data from the Darkblock API.

async function upgradeNFTWithDarkblock() {

const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';

const url = `https://api.darkblock.io/v1/darkblock/upgrade?apikey=${apiKey}`;

const filePath = "YOUR_FILE_PATH"; // Replace with actual file path

let formData = new FormData();

// Append data to the form

formData.append('name', 'Upgrading My NFT');

formData.append('darkblock_description', 'Upgrading My NFT');

formData.append('file', createReadStream(filePath));

formData.append('nft_contract', '0xC4451ae26328eB85710...');

formData.append('nft_token', '7');

formData.append('creator_address', '0x438cba7e454b59a9....');

formData.append('nft_platform', 'Polygon');

formData.append('nft_standard', 'ERC-721');

formData.append('darkblock_signature', '0x33780...');

formData.append('download', 'true'); // Setting this true will make the content downloadable

try {

const response = await axios.post(url, formData, {

headers: formData.getHeaders()

});

const { data, status } = response;

// Check if the status is 200 and a tx_id is present in the response

if (status === 200 && data.tx_id) return data;

else console.log('Upgrade failed:', JSON.stringify(data));

} catch (error) {

console.error('Upgrade failed:', error.response ? error.response.data : error.message);

}

You can see the content available at

app.darkblock.io⁠

, or you can

embed the viewer⁠

into your website.

Advanced

You can clone and launch your own microsite using Paper to sell Polygon ERC-1155 NFTs, with a landing page embedding the Darkblock viewer to enable consumption of the purchased content. See this blog post on
