We study a high-velocity inverse scattering problem for nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with spatially dependent nonlinearities in dimensions $d\ge3$. We consider the whole mass-supercritical and energy-subcritical range, including the endpoint cases. By introducing a moving frame adapted to highly boosted initial data, we construct the scattering operator for a class of large incoming states generated by Galilean boosts. The key observation is that, although the boosted data become large in Sobolev norms, the nonlinear interaction becomes effectively weak at high velocity due to rapid spatial separation. Using the resulting high-velocity asymptotics, we derive a reconstruction formula for the X-ray transform of the coefficient. As a consequence, we prove that the scattering operator uniquely determines both the nonlinearity exponent and the spatial coefficient. Our results extend previous work of Watanabe to all dimensions $d \ge 3$, include the endpoint nonlinearities, and replace the repulsiveness and radial monotonicity assumptions on the coefficient by suitable decay conditions.
