Prerequisites

Metamask: Is there a way to output a list of Metamask account names and addresses?

Make sure you have MetaMask installed on your device and have generated a passphrase.

You must have the metamask package installed in your project: npm install metamask

Familiarize yourself with the MetaMask Web Wallet API documentation

Step 1: Get your accounts and address

Use the following code to retrieve your account names and addresses:


const { Web3Provider } = require('web3');
const provider = new Web3Provider(' // Replace it with your local network provider
async function getAccountsAndAddresses() {
const const = await provider.getAccounts();
let address = '';
for (let i = 0; i < accounts.length; i++) {
console.log(account ${i+1}:, accounts[i]);
address += Address: ${accounts[i]}\n;
}
return { accounts, address };
}
getAccountsAndAddresses().then((result) => {
console.log('Output:');
console.log(address.result);
// You can output the list of account names
result.accounts.forEach((account) => {
console.log(Account ${account.index}:, account.name);
});
});

Explanation

Let’s create a new Web3Provider instance and connect to the local network provider (replace with ).

We use thegetAccounts()method to get an array of account names.



We iterate over the accounts array and record each account name and address separately.


Finally, we return an object that contains both the account name and the list of addresses.

Step 2: Output a simple list

To output a simple list of account names and addresses, you can use theconsole.logfunction:


const { Web3Provider } = require('web3');
const provider = new Web3Provider(' // Replace it with your local network provider
async function getAccountsAndAddresses() {
const const = await provider.getAccounts();
let address = '';
for (let i = 0; i < accounts.length; i++) {console.log(account ${i+1}:, accounts[i]);
address +=Address: ${accounts[i]}\n;
}
return { addresses: address, accounts };
}
getAccountsAndAddresses().then((result) => {
console.log('Output:');
// You can output the list of account names
result.accounts.forEach((account) => {
console.log(Account ${account.index}:, account.name);
});
});


Use Case Examples



Share your MetaMask accounts and addresses with a group or client.


Automate tasks by sending notifications to specific accounts and addresses.


Create custom reports and dashboards that display account information.

By following these steps, you can easily extract a list of Metamask account names and addresses. Remember to replace the URL with your local network provider, if necessary.
