    chainId?: string;          // Optional chain ID
}
```

## Example Usage

```javascript
// Setup request parameters
const timestamp = Date.now().toString();
const body = {
	nfts: ['0x1234567890123456789012345678901234567890'], // NFT contract address
	tokenIds: ['123'], // Token ID to burn
	chainId: '43114' // Avalanche C-Chain
};

// Generate HMAC signature
const hmac = generateHmacSignature(timestamp, body, secretKey);

// Make the API request
const response = await axios.post(apiEndpoint + '/game/nft/burn', body, {
	headers: {
		apikey: apiKey,
		signature: hmac,
		timestamp: timestamp
	}
});

// Process the response
console.log('Burn Task ID:', response.data.taskId);
console.log('Transaction Hash:', response.data.data.transactionHash);
```
