Token Gating Website (Django)

This tutorial is a continuation of the previous tutorial on how to use Moralis' Auth API in Django. Now, in this tutorial, you will learn how to show content for a restricted page only when the currently authenticated user holds a specific NFT.

This is an example of the final result:

Protected Page

Prerequisites

  1. Finish the previous tutorial on how to use the Moralis Auth API in Django.

Adding NFT Gated Functionality

  1. Add a new view in views.py named protected:
def protected(request):
eth_address = request.session.get(
'verified_data', {}).get('address', None)
nfts = []
# this is the opensea contract address on polygon
CONTRACT_ADDRESS = "0x2953399124f0cbb46d2cbacd8a89cf0599974963"
WEB3_API_URL = 'https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2'
REQUEST_URL = '%s/%s/nft?chain=polygon&token_addresses=%s' % (
WEB3_API_URL,
eth_address,
CONTRACT_ADDRESS
)

x = requests.get(
REQUEST_URL,
headers={'X-API-KEY': API_KEY})
print(json.loads(x.text))
nfts = json.loads(x.text)['result']
# show only 1 nft
if nfts:
nfts = json.dumps([nfts[0]], indent=4)
print(eth_address)
print(nfts)
return render(
request, 'protected.html',
{'nfts': nfts})

In this view, we are going to extract the address from the current user session. Then, we will make a Web3 API request to get the NFTs for the current wallet address for a specific contract address. In this particular case, we decided to go with the Polygon chain.

  1. Add a template named protected.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Moralis Django NFT Gated Demo Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>

{% if user.is_authenticated %}
<h1>Eth address: {{ user.username }}</h1>
<h2>Protected content</h2>
{% if nfts %}
<h3>Nice! You have our NFT!</h3>
<pre>
{{ nfts }}
</pre>
{% else %}
<h3>Sorry, you don't have our NFT!</h3>
{% endif %}
<br/>
<a href="{% url 'logout' %}?next={% url 'moralis_auth' %}">Logout</a>
{% else %}
<a href="{% url 'moralis_auth' %}"> Login page </a>
{% endif %}
</div>

</body>
</html>
  1. Add this line in urls.py for the current Django application:
path('protected', views.protected, name='protected'),

Final Result

Page When Wallet Address Holds An NFT From A Specific  Contract Address

Page When Wallet Address Does Not Hold NFT
