Issue Interacting with ERC721 Contract via Node.js Backend (Error: "missing argument" when calling mintCard), cant mint cards

I'm working on a project to interact with an ERC721 contract through a Node.js backend using ethers.js. The contract allows minting collectible cards (NFTs). Here’s an overview of my setup: Main.sol file:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/access/Ownable.sol";
    
    contract Main is ERC721, Ownable {
        uint256 public nextTokenId;
        mapping(uint256 => string) private _tokenURIs;
    
        constructor() ERC721("PokemonNFT", "PKMN") {
            nextTokenId = 1;
        }
    
        function mintCard(uint256 collectionId, address to, string memory tokenURI) public onlyOwner {
            uint256 tokenId = nextTokenId;
            _safeMint(to, tokenId);
            _setTokenURI(tokenId, tokenURI);
            nextTokenId += 1;
        }
    
        function tokenURI(uint256 tokenId) public view virtual override returns (string memory) {
            require(_exists(tokenId), "ERC721Metadata: URI query for nonexistent token");
            return _tokenURIs[tokenId];
        }
    
        function _setTokenURI(uint256 tokenId, string memory _tokenURI) internal {
            require(_exists(tokenId), "ERC721Metadata: URI set of nonexistent token");
            _tokenURIs[tokenId] = _tokenURI;
        }
    }

Node.js Script (index.js):

require('dotenv').config();
const express = require('express');
const { ethers } = require('ethers');
const app = express();
const port = 3000;

// Contract information
const CONTRACT_ADDRESS = 'contract address';

            }
        ],

// Set up provider and signer
const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider('http://127.0.0.1:8545');
const walletPrivateKey = 'walletkey'; 
const signer = new ethers.Wallet(walletPrivateKey, provider); // Create signer

    const { collectionId, walletAddress, tokenURI } = req.params;

    try {
        const tx = await contract.mintCard(collectionId, walletAddress, tokenURI);
        await tx.wait(); // Wait for the transaction to be confirmed
        res.status(200).json({ success: true, transactionHash: tx.hash });
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
        res.status(500).json({ success: false, message: error.message });
    }
});

// API endpoint to get token information
app.get('/nft/:tokenId', async (req, res) => {
    const tokenId = req.params.tokenId; // Get tokenId from the request parameters
    try {
        const tokenURI = await contract.tokenURI(tokenId); // Call tokenURI function
        res.json({ tokenId, tokenURI }); // Respond with tokenId and tokenURI
    } catch (error) {
        res.status(400).json({ error: 'Token not found' }); // Handle error if token is not found
    }
});

// Start the server
app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`Server is running at http://localhost:${port}`);
});

Problem: When I try to call the /mint endpoint with this URL: http://localhost:3000/mint/1/0xYourWalletAddressHere/https://metadata-url

I receive an error saying :

Bitcoin Mining Could Be Strengthening The Ruble, Russian Central Bank Says

Image
Bitcoin mining may be providing incremental support to the Russian ruble, Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina said, while cautioning that the effect is difficult to measure because much of the sector still operates in a legal and reporting gray zone. Bitcoin Mining May Support The Ruble Responding to a question at a press conference, Nabiullina said it is “probably difficult to quantify” mining’s influence “because a significant part of mining is still in a gray area.” Still, she added that mining is “indeed one of the additional factors contributing to the strong ruble exchange rate.” As Russian business news portal for RBC reported , her remarks come as Russian officials increasingly frame mining and crypto flows as macro-relevant, not just a niche tech or energy story. Earlier, Maxim Oreshkin, deputy head of the presidential administration, said ruble forecasts have been thrown off by the underestimation of financial flows tied to mining and cryptocurrency. In his view, the s...

Crypto Exec Warns Tokenization Is Moving Faster Than Expected

Image
According to a post shared on X by Keith Grossman, president of crypto payments firm MoonPay, finance is heading toward an onchain future that could unfold over several years. The view comes as large banks and asset managers begin product tokenization, a move that once seemed extreme but is now being treated as a practical step by major institutions. Regulatory Signals Push Institutions Forward Based on reports cited by Grossman, progress has accelerated because rules are becoming clearer. Legislative efforts, regulatory guidance, bank involvement and accounting standards are starting to line up. That combination reduces uncertainty, which is often what slows large pools of capital. BlackRock has already launched tokenized funds, while Franklin Templeton is running tokenized money market funds on public blockchains. Those actions suggest that tokenization is no longer confined to pilot labs or internal trials. It is being used with real assets and real clients. Bank of Ameri...

Bitwise Clients Pour $69M Into Solana as Bulls Fight to Reclaim $200 Resistance Zone

Image
Institutional confidence in Solana (SOL) continues to surge as Bitwise clients invest a massive $69.5 million, supporting the blockchain as a frontrunner among alternative Layer-1 assets. The investment shows a growing appetite for scalable, low-cost blockchain solutions beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. Solana has been one of 2025’s standout performers, supported by its lightning-fast transaction speeds, affordable fees, and expanding DeFi and Web3 ecosystems. The Bitwise allocation signals institutional validation of Solana’s infrastructure and future potential, particularly as adoption accelerates tokenized asset markets. On-chain metrics reveal heightened activity, transaction volumes, developer participation, and staking inflows are all climbing. This combination of technological strength and real-world integration reinforces investor optimism, even as short-term volatility tests the $200 resistance level. Bitwise Expands Its Institutional Crypto Strategy Bitwise Asset Management’...
