Below, we delve into the paramount benefits and unique features of trading NFTs using your own order book within your marketplace. Harness the power to define personalized trading strategies, secure increased revenue through marketplace fees, and offer a seamless, efficient trading experience to your users.

This documentation guides you through the precise steps to configure this attribute correctly, facilitating a seamless and efficient setup of your personalized NFT marketplace.

5.1 With HTTP API

The following curl command provides an example where you merely need to replace YOUR_API_KEY}with your actual API key to initiate a test request for listing an NFT to your order book using Create Listings API.

curl --location --request POST 'https://data-api.nftgo.io/trade/v1/nft/create-listings?chain=ethereum' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --header 'X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY' \
    --data '{
        "maker": "0x9398BA28015F0ce82b00CCB0da0C686a86DBad36",
        "params": [
            {
                "token": "0x3d053C1B9eF47f14E9d97e076b96c3A7C5054B1d:7079",
                "wei_price": "10000000000000",
                "order_kind": "seaport-v1.5",
                "orderbook": "self",
                "listing_time": "1692605611",
                "expiration_time": "1692615611",
                "marketplace_fees_bps": ["0x9398BA28015F0ce82b00CCB0da0C686a86DBad36:100"]
                "quantity": 1
            }
        ]
    }'

Note:

  • Ensure to replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key.
  • The maker field should contain the wallet address that initiates the listing.
  • In the marketplace_fees parameter, specify the list of wallet addresses for collecting the marketplace fee followed by the fee percentage (in basis points). In this case, "0x9398BA28015F0ce82b00CCB0da0C686a86DBad36:100" means the wallet address 0x9398BA28015F0ce82b00CCB0da0C686a86DBad36 will receive a 1% fee of the listing's price upon a successful transaction."

The following process is quite similar to the guide: https://docs.nftgo.io/docs/create-an-nft-marketplace-with-aggregated-order-books#--with-http-api.

Don't forget the last action is to post the signed-order. In your own order book case, we will store and maintain the availability of all orders for you.

6. Create Offers to Your Order Book and Collecting Marketplace Fee

6.1 With HTTP API

Below is an example using the curl command to create an NFT token offer to your order book using the Create Offers API:

curl --location --request POST 'https://data-api.nftgo.io/trade/v1/nft/create-offers?chain=ethereum' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --header 'X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY' \
    --data '{
        "maker": "0x9398BA28015F0ce82b00CCB0da0C686a86DBad36",
        "params": [
            {
                "token": "0x3d053C1B9eF47f14E9d97e076b96c3A7C5054B1d:7080",
                "wei_price": "10000000000000",
                "order_kind": "seaport-v1.5",
                "orderbook": "self",
                "listing_time": "1692605611",
                "expiration_time": "1692615611",
                "marketplace_fees_bps": ["0x9398BA28015F0ce82b00CCB0da0C686a86DBad36:100"]
                "quantity": 1
            }
        ]
    }'

Note:

  • Ensure to replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key.
  • The maker field should contain the wallet address that initiates the offer.
  • In the marketplace_fees parameter, specify the list of wallet addresses for collecting the marketplace fee followed by the fee percentage (in basis points). In this case, "0x9398BA28015F0ce82b00CCB0da0C686a86DBad36:100" means the wallet address 0x9398BA28015F0ce82b00CCB0da0C686a86DBad36 will receive a 1% fee of the offer's price upon a successful transaction."

7. Query Orders

Once the orders are posted to our service, you will be able to query them through the order book APIs:

Your orders will be returned together with the aggregated orders from other marketplaces' order books.

8. Buying NFTs with Your Order Book

Utilize the order ID specified in your listing to initiate a listing fulfillment transaction retrieval. Following the on-chain execution of this transaction, the marketplace fee delineated during order creation will be automatically allocated to your designated wallet. This fee is deducted from NFT seller's (listing's maker) receiving amount.

8.1 With HTTP API

Below is an example using the curl command to create an NFT token offer to your order book using the Fulfill Listings API:

curl --location --request POST 'https://data-api.nftgo.io/trade/v1/nft/fulfill-listings?chain=ethereum' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --header 'X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY' \
    --data '{
        "buyer": "0x9398BA28015F0ce82b00CCB0da0C686a86DBad36",
        "order_ids": ["xxx"] // Place the order IDs you want to fulfill here
    }'

In the code snippet above, you only need to make a couple of adjustments:

  1. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the actual API key you have.
  2. Populate the order_ids array with the specific order IDs you intend to fulfill. These IDs can be obtained through a previous API response or a query to your database.

9. Selling NFTs with Your Order Book

In this section, we will guide you through the process of setting up and executing selling orders using your personalized order book. Similar to buying, you will use the order ID specified at the time of listing to initiate selling transactions. Upon on-chain execution, the previously delineated marketplace fee will be automatically transferred to your specified account, this fee is deducted from NFT seller's (offer's taker) receiving amount.

9.1 With HTTP API

To streamline the sales process within your marketplace, consider leveraging the Fulfill Offers API, specially designed for this operation. The following curl example demonstrates how to invoke this API:

curl --location --request POST 'https://data-api.nftgo.io/trade/v1/nft/fulfill-offers?chain=ethereum' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --header 'X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY' \
    --data '{
      "seller_address": "SELLER_ADDRESS",
      "offer_fulfillment_intentions": [
        {
          "contract_address": "CONTRACT_ADDRESS",
          "order_id": "ORDER_ID",
          "quantity": 1,
          "token_id": "TOKEN_ID"
        }
      ]
    }'

Before executing, undertake the following adjustments to customize the API request to your needs:

  1. Substitute YOUR_API_KEY with your authentic API key.
  2. Alter CONTRACT_ADDR, TOKEN_ID, and ORDER_ID with the specific details of the NFT you're selling and the offer's order ID you are selling into.

10. Cancelling NFTs with Your Order Book

In the event that you wish to retract an order, either a listing or an offer, the GoTrading platform facilitates an uncomplicated cancellation procedure. Utilize the specific order ID associated with the order in question to initiate the cancellation transaction. Upon the on-chain validation of this transaction, the order will be promptly removed from your order book, and any marketplace fees specified at the time of order creation will be nullified. This functionality grants a seamless management of your marketplace, ensuring a streamlined experience for both marketplace operators and users alike.
