# Procuring a Data NFT

Data NFTs provide a unique way to package and trade personal data. With Itheum's Data Marketplace, users can easily discover, trade, and advertise Data NFTs using ITHEUM tokens. 

You will need the $ITHEUM and $EGLD tokens.

1. [Get $EGLD](https://buy.multiversx.com/)
2. [Get $ITHEUM](https://www.itheum.io/get-itheum)

This article outlines the purchase of Data NFTs on the Itheum Marketplace:

### Option 1

#### **Step 1) Browse the marketplace**

Head to the [Data NFT Marketplace](https://test.datadex.itheum.io/datanfts/marketplace/market). Select the Data NFT you wish to procure and click on "View Data Collection".

Suppose your Data NFT supports a custom built data visualization application built on [Itheum Explorer](/product-docs/pre-aithra/pre-aithra-apps/itheum-explorer.md) - in that case, you will be shown a "Explore" button that directly takes you to the App page on Itheum Explorer so you can experience the insights or features unlocked by the Data NFT.

#### **Alternatively: Browse the marketplace, select "Show all offers" and select the amount for purchase**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.itheum.io/product-docs/pre-aithra/pre-aithra-apps/data-nft-marketplace/procuring-a-data-nft.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
