Missing NFT metadata

[enricop]

Hi,
when calling Moralis.Web3API.account.getNFTsForContract some NFTs returns null metadata.

For example the following NFT on rinkeby
contract address: 0x186a2732cd5c7010ef1d5a9499d9f86c099bd19c
token ID: 67

Metadata is actually available at:
https://fdp00bm8i1.execute-api.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/teekey?id=67

This is the response I get for that NFT:

{
    "token_address": "0x186a2732cd5c7010ef1d5a9499d9f86c099bd19c",
    "token_id": "67",
    "block_number_minted": "9775307",
    "owner_of": "0x1eb8b60947b90b6aef96c7b829f91be05b8495f9",
    "block_number": "9775307",
    "amount": "1",
    "contract_type": "ERC721",
    "name": "Teekey",
    "symbol": "TEE",
    "token_uri": "https://fdp00bm8i1.execute-api.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/teekey?id=67",
    "metadata": null,
    "synced_at": null,
    "is_valid": 0,
    "syncing": 1,
    "frozen": 0
}

Can you please shine a light in regards what could be the issue?
Many thanks,
Enrico

Metadata missing on some NFTs

Hi all, any update about the issue? I’m building a dapp that need to list all user’s NFTs but calling getNFTs returns a lot of NFT with metadata null. That happens even If I call the api nft/{address}/{token_id} endpoint Here’s a test example: Token Address:0x75cdc17e42e1d82a3fdb38c1b8509842f0fcbe20 Token ID: 1279 If I query the token URI via etherscan I get the result correctly https://api-glestudios.vercel.app/api/1279 Thanks!

we are continuously trying to get the metadata for a lot of smart contracts, sometimes we don’t get to have the metadata for all of them, when the metadata is missing you can get it by accessing that token_uri

[enricop]

okay thanks, I will fetch the data from the tokenURI

[chrispetersen]

hey, any update on this? is there a scalable way to get the metadata using the token_uri?

[cryptokid]

now there is the option to resync a token_uri or metadata for a token id: https://docs.moralis.io/moralis-server/web3-sdk/token#resyncmetadata

but it is not easy to use it at scale

Preferably, token_uri is the best way to get the metadata for nfts, as the metadata field may be null but the token_uri can never (except in rare cases)
