Transferring ownership of NFT(ERC721)

Question

I'm trying to change the ownership of a requested ERC721(NFT) to another wallet.

I'm using the Mumbai Test Net and ethers.

To do it I need to create the general ERC721 contract using its abi but I can't find it.

In comparison, the ERC20's abi I found easily - link and used it like followed and it's working:

const createERC20Contract = (contractAddress) => {
    const provider = new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(ethereum);
    const signer = provider.getSigner();
    const ERC20Contract = new ethers.Contract(contractAddress, ERC20ABI, signer);

    return ERC20Contract;
}

Where can I find the abi of ERC721 to create the ethers.Contract() ?

Here's a generic ERC721 ABI that I built from the OpenZeppelin implementation. (The bare minimum contract - none of their extensions such as mint and burn tokens.)

Thanks for the fast answer :) It's now working with 'transferFrom' and not 'safeTransferFrom'. But it is good enough for now. What is the best practice for transferring ownership of NFT? To transfer it on the client-side using like I've shown here? or use the IERC721 in the .sol file? — Alon Ben Yaakov, Apr 17 '22 at 11:05
@AlonBenYaakov It depends on your use case. Mind that for client-side transfer, you'll need the token owner to sign a transaction performing the transfer (e.g. through their MetaMask wallet). For a transfer through a third-party contract, your contract needs to be an owner or an operator of this NFT (the user needs to `approve()` your contract to operate their token). — Petr Hejda, Apr 17 '22 at 11:47
