# Mint

### Powered by  ![](/files/wHdYzeoZZXkZiiiPUYEI) 

The ***NFT Mint*** endpoint enables a developer to provide a “headless mint” via a physical or digital QR code or through a wallet redirect link. The Transaction Request will build a transaction that mints an NFT from the provided CandyMachine public key.

CandyMachine is a tool developed by Metaplex that facilitates the creation, payment, and mint of NFTs.

The 3 methods available to mint NFTs using this endpoint are *candy machine, metadata, and upload*.
