## Example Request and Response

### Prerequisites

Before making requests with Volary SDK, you must have it installed.

You can install Volary SDK using either **`npm`** or **`yarn`**. Use the following commands to install Volary SDK:

```jsx
npm install @nest25/casper-lib
OR
yarn add @nest25/casper-lib
```

### Request

Here is an example of how to make a `checkNFT` request using the Volary SDK:

```javascript
// import Nest25 Casper library
const { Casper } = require('@nest25/casper-lib');
// create a new Casper instance
const casper = new Casper();

// set testnet variables
const privateKey = 'your-private-key';
const RPC_API = 'https://rpc.testnet.casperlabs.io/rpc';

async function main() {
  // check NFT data using tokenId
  const checkData = await casper.checkNFT(RPC_API, privateKey, '164298');
  console.log(checkData);
}
// call main function
main();
```

### Response

```sh
 {
        status: 1,
        balanceOf1: '6',
        ownerOfTokenOne: 'account-hash-b42ea6c352d692cff179749a5023189f92bec6ce81d2c19ad1a1ac2c2c009189',
        tokenOneMeta: Map(4) {
          'description' => 'Bored Ape Mango DESCRIPTION',
          'image' => 'img',
          'name' => 'Bored Ape Mango',
          'royalty' => '40'
