How to select a specific NFT

Written by Robin Singh

If you are trying to add an NFT transaction manually or want to search for a specific NFT on the Transactions page then you will notice that it's sometimes difficult to find the specific NFT that you want to select.

If you search for "Cryptokitties" only, you'll get a list of 70,000 tokens. Note that all of the different NFTs share the same address since they are from the same collection:

To be able to find the exact NFT you want, you can search for it by using the collections ticker (symbol) and the NFT's ID, separated by # (comma and hash):

[NFT] #[token ID]

Eg.

CK #99995
BAYC #31
etc.

The ID of your NFT can be found on the block explorers if you don't know it. Every NFT within a specific collection will have a unique ID.

ℹ️ NFT needs to exist in Koinly's database to be searchable

For an NFT to be searchable in Koinly it needs to be have been synced with our database at least once by someone. If you cannot find the NFT you know you own, it usually means that your wallet wasn't synced properly (and the NFT never imported). To fix this, trigger a full re-sync of your wallet.

You can also use the contract address instead of the collection symbol:

CONTRACT_ADDRESS #NFT_ID

E.g.

0x06012c8cf97BEaD5deAe237070F9587f8E7A266d #99995
0xBC4CA0EdA7647A8aB7C2061c2E118A18a936f13D #31
etc.

🔵 Example

If I wanted to search for my NFT called Cryptokitties with the ID 999914 then I would need to locate the ID of the NFT by checking the explorer or my wallet.
I then type in the ticker/symbol of the NFT and the ID: CK #999914

It is also possible to search only for the token ID but this is only useful if the ID is long since common IDs will result in a lot of matches:
