# Getting the hosting URL

Downloading a file is great to display your art in the physical world, but what about the Metaverse? Galleries have been popping up on multiple Metaverses like Decentraland and Cryptovoxels (we’ll review the top metaverses in an upcoming section), but to display your collection on these platforms, you will often need to obtain the hosting URLs of those pieces. Each marketplace has its own process, which we will explore below.

## **SuperRare**

In the HISTORY section of a piece (usually below), find where it says "Created by...". Once you have located this, click on "view tx". 

![](/files/-MZyW_-GfK0hMs2sIf71)

This will take you to Etherscan, where you’ll need the Token ID under "Token Transferred" and the Contract hash under "Interacted with (to)". 

![](/files/-MZyX-1IbwivOtyhV_kT)

Click on the contract hash, then under the "Contract" tab, you’ll be able to click on "Read Contract". 

![](/files/-MZyXkUGd5elpVF8rc-C)

Then, scroll down to the "Token URL" element at rank 14, enter the token ID and click on "Query". Now copy the string displayed starting with [https://ipfs…](https://academy.0xsociety.com/collectors/displaying-crypto-art/https:/ipfs…) and paste it in a new tab in your browser. After "uri:..." you’ll find the link to the file stored on IPFS!

## **Nifty Gateway**

You’ll first have to click on the artwork under your profile, and then copy the token ID under the Contract hyperlink before clicking on the latter.

Then, under the "Contract" tab, you’ll be able to click on "Read Contract". 

![](/files/-MZyYt-nrA8N1Mp3pVjd)

Then, scroll down to the "Token URL" element at rank 23, enter the token ID and click on "Query". 

![](/files/-MZyZ6pn0oZHHpHfQaNL)

Now copy the string displayed starting with <https://api.niftygateway> and paste it in a new tab in your browser. After "Image:..." or "animation\_url" if it's an mp4, you’ll find the link to the file stored on Cloudinary.com.

![](/files/-MZyZPKk8wzv1MGPxu6n)

## **Foundation**

Foundation makes it easy for its collectors as there is a "View on IPFS" button directly on the piece’s page. The link will take you directly to the URL where the file is hosted.

## **MakersPlace**

You’ll first have to click on "View Proof of Authority" on the piece you are interested in showcasing.&#x20;

![](/files/-MZy_GyUPkx4XBE9nEl5)

You’ll have to copy the token ID, then click on "View blockchain details".&#x20;

![](/files/-MZy_OuHHnT_tdWUscIP)

Click on the contract hash, then under the "Contract" tab, you’ll be able to click on "Read Contract".&#x20;

![](/files/-MZy_biWGrXFH331nOsm)

Then, scroll down to the "Token URL" element at rank 23, enter the token ID and click on "Query".&#x20;

![](/files/-MZy_l3HLZvohpjmkiBi)

Now copy the string displayed starting with ipfs/… and paste it in a new tab in your browser after ipfsgateway.marketplace.com/. After "Description" at the end, you’ll find the URL you are looking for.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://academy.0xsociety.com/collectors/displaying-crypto-art/getting-the-hosting-url.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
