You can also recognize an non-fungable by requesting the URI metadata using the function uri(_id).
A non-fungable token should use the ERC721 Metadata JSON Schema:
{
"name": "Asset Name",
"description": "Lorem ipsum...",
"image": "https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/your-bucket\/images\/{id}.png",
"properties": {
"simple_property": "example value",
"rich_property": {
"name": "Name",
"value": "123",
"display_value": "123 Example Value",
"class": "emphasis",
"css": {
"color": "#ffffff",
"font-weight": "bold",
"text-decoration": "underline"
}
},
"array_property": {
"name": "Name",
"value": [1,2,3,4],
"class": "emphasis"
}
}
}
Where as the fungable Token should use:
{
"title": "Token Metadata",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"name": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Identifies the asset to which this token represents"
},
"decimals": {
"type": "integer",
"description": "The number of decimal places that the token amount should display - e.g. 18, means to divide the token amount by 1000000000000000000 to get its user representation."
},
"description": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Describes the asset to which this token represents"
},
"image": {
"type": "string",
"description": "A URI pointing to a resource with mime type image/* representing the asset to which this token represents. Consider making any images at a width between 320 and 1080 pixels and aspect ratio between 1.91:1 and 4:5 inclusive."
},
"properties": {
"type": "object",
"description": "Arbitrary properties. Values may be strings, numbers, object or arrays."
}
}
}
