Is there any way to force to update metadata on Opensea?

Question

I tried to change token base URL to display the new images of NFTs on opensea.io. But it is not updated immediately.

There is a way to update by specifying force_update=true on Rikeby testnet.

But I don't know how to update it on mainnet. Will it be possible?

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Try this URL:

https://api.opensea.io/api/v1/asset/<your_contract_address>/<token_id>/?force_update=true

please tell me if this works.

This method may not work on another mainnet example polygon.

Update: There is a manual refresh for metadata on opensea. One can always use that one too.

I tried it myself and it looks like its worked! I was able to call in a loop for a range of tokens and opensea updated the data correctly: for (let tokenId = fromTokenId; tokenId <= toTokenId; tokenId++) { const url = "https://api.opensea.io/api/v1/asset/${contractAddress}/${tokenId}/?force_update=true"; await fetch(url); console.log("Done with ${tokenId}"); } – Abnormality

does this work on the testnet mumbai? Tried playing around with it and didn't reach success yet – Grandnephew

OpeanSea refreshing would take 1 or 2 minutes in my experience because all of requests are queued. So you need to wait for a while after API call. – Caning

I get "success": false when trying to refresh my polygon NFT collection – Deliberative

Seems this does not work at all for assets on Polygon... – Deliberative

This doesn't work anymore – Dina

It doesn't work on Polygon. Please try to use this: NFT refresh on OpenSea – Caning

@LikiCrus's link didn't work for me for a collection hosted on mainnet. – Impertinence

@TimDaubenschütz, please wait for a minute after refreshing. I normally used it. In my experience opensea has some issues with refreshing. That's it delays or omits the requests. So I had to try to run several times or had to refresh manually for specific items. This is annoying. – Caning

I had waited several hours after running the script and I only ran the script once. I'm now using the above outlined endpoint iterating through tokenIds using a for loop in bash and curls. And I've gotten a 403 error when not defining a user agent. So now I've copied a popular browser's user agent and I'm getting 200 OK statuses. – Impertinence

@TimDaubenschütz, I think you made a mistake on API call with CURL. If the API endpoint works on the browser, this will definitely work. There is no issue with axios API call on nodejs or PHP. – Caning

Not sure if it was different in the past, but you need an API key from OpenSea to make that v1/asset GET call on mainnet ETH. They have a form to request one on their site. I've heard they can be stingy at times with giving them out. – Alinealinna

Is there any solution that works on a polygon network? – Devisal

OS updated the api to v2. https://docs.opensea.io/reference/refresh_nft
