Metamask: Creating Metamask wallets using a script

Creating Metamask Wallets Using Scripts: A Step-by-Step Guide

Metamask is a popular cryptocurrency wallet that allows users to store, send, and receive a variety of digital assets. You can use the Metamask API to create multiple Metamask wallets using scripts or API endpoints. In this article, we will walk you through the process of creating different types of Metamask wallets using scripts.

Requirements

• Knowledge of JavaScript, especially Node.js

• Basic knowledge of API development and scripting

Creating a single Metamask wallet using scripts

You can follow the steps below to create a single Metamask wallet.

• Install the metamask library: Run “npm install metamask” in your project directory.

• Create an account in the Metamask dashboard

  : Go to [metamask.com]( and sign up for a new account.

• Creating a Wallet Using the Metamask API : Use this script to create a single Metamask wallet:

const { Wallet, accounts } = require('metamask-sdk');
// Create a new Metamask wallet
async function createWallet() {
const accounts = await Accounts.create();
console.log(accounts);
}
create Wallet();

This script creates a new Metamask wallet using the “Accounts.create()” method and logs the resulting account object to the console.

Creating Multiple Metamask Wallets with Scripts

You can follow these steps to create multiple Metamask wallets.

• Create an API Key: Go to [metamask.com]( and log in to your account. Click Settings > API Keys. Create a new API key for each wallet.

• Use Metamask library with API key: Use this script to create multiple Metamask wallets:

const { Wallet, accounts } = require('metamask-sdk');
// Set your API key
const apiKey = process.env.METAMASK_API_KEY;
async function createWallets() {
const accounts = await Accounts.create();
const wallet1Name = 'My first wallet';
const wallet2Name = 'My second wallet';
// Create multiple wallets using API key
for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
const account = await Accounts.create({name: wallet1Name + (i === 1 ? '!' : '') });
console.log(Created wallet ${i+1} using account ${account.address});
}
return accounts;
}
const wallets = createWallets();
console.log(wallets);

This script creates multiple Metamask wallets using the API key and logs the resulting account objects to the console.

API Endpoints for Creating Multiple Wallets

The Metamask API provides multiple endpoints for creating Metamask wallets. You can use these endpoints to create multiple wallets in a single API request.

Here are some examples of API endpoints that you can use to create multiple Metamask wallets:

• Accounts.create({name, email}): Creates a new account with the specified name and email address.

• Accounts.create({ publicKey, privateKey, accountName, label, isAccountLabel}): Creates a new account with the specified properties (public key, private key, account name, label, and account label).

• Wallet.create({ apiKey, walletName, publicKey, privateKey, accountName, label }): Creates a new Metamask wallet with the specified API key, wallet name, public key, private key, account name, and label.

Conclusion

With some basic knowledge of JavaScript and API development, it is possible to create multiple Metamask wallets using scripts or API endpoints. By following these steps and examples, you can create different types of Metamask wallets in a single script. Remember to replace the environment variable “process.env.METAMASK_API_KEY” with your actual API key.
