# Minting New Traits

To perform a minting operation, the Integrator must send a POST request to the following endpoint:

```bash
POST /v1/account/get-token
```

The request body should contain the following parameters:

* `collection_id`: the unique identifier of the collection
* `token_id`: the on-chain token ID to which the traits will be assigned
* `traits`: a list of trait objects that will be added to the token

The traits should be submitted in the following format:

```json
{ "trait_type": "trait type name", "value": "trait value" }
```

Here's an example payload of the request body for adding two traits:

```json
{
  "collection_id": "abc123",
  "token_id": "12345",
  "traits": [
    { "trait_type": "trait type name", "value": "trait value" },
    { "trait_type": "another trait type name", "value": "another trait value" }
  ]
}
```

Only the `value` and `trait_type` fields are required in the payload. The `renderOrder` and `imageUrl` fields are not needed.

Make sure the traits posted in the traits collection match the trait metadata provided during the creation of the collection.

For example, if the metadata includes a trait object in the following format:

```json
{
  "value": "Background 01",
  "trait_type": "Background",
  "render_order": "1",
  "image_url": "https://arweave.net/4bvRkfaClkLosqJsXylLeE1n2oabIg5k2gKVc6xLInQ"
}
```

Then, the `trait_type` and `value` fields sent in the POST request should match the above trait object as shown below:

```json
{
  "value": "Background 01",
  "trait_type": "Background"
}
```

Upon successful completion of the request, the token's traits will be updated, and the metadata associated with the token will reflect the new changes on-chain. You can then query the metadata using our API.
