在测试/主网上创建钱包是否需要安装本地节点？

Question

i want to be able to create wallets on wave blockchain using their api

according to this

https://nodes-testnet.wavesnodes.com/api-docs/index.html#/addresses/createWalletAddress

i need to send API key in my request header .... i look into how can i obtain this api key and in the doc here are the steps

Set API Key

To set API key, you need to generate API key hash and then use it in your node configuration.

Create unique string value that you will use as API key.

Go to Swagger web interface.

Open the /utils/hash/secure (opens new window)API method and input your unique string in the message field.

Click Execute to get the hashed API key.

Use the hashed API key as the value of the api-key-hash parameter in your node configuration file.

Restart your node.

it says

Use the hashed API key as the value of the api-key-hash parameter in your node configuration file.

im very confused ... i thought using testnet means that i dont have to install a local node maybe im wrong ?!

Answer 1

use this package

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@waves/waves-api

you need to creaate a seed pharase , and using the seed you can create address/public & private keys ... here is a shortcut to create all

const Waves = WavesAPI.create(WavesAPI.TESTNET_CONFIG);
const seed = Waves.Seed.create();
console.log(seed);
