Example Request and Response

Prerequisites

Before making requests with Nest SDK, you must have it installed.

You can install Nest SDK using either npm or yarn. Use the following commands to install Nest SDK:

npm install @nest25/casper-lib
OR
yarn add @nest25/casper-lib

Request

Here is an example of how to make a generateWallet request using the Nest SDK:

// import Nest25 Casper library
const { Casper } = require('@nest25/casper-lib');
// create a new Casper instance
const casper = new Casper();

async function main() {
  // generate a new wallet
  let wallet = await casper.generateWallet();
  console.log({ wallet });
}

main();

Response

{
        wallet: {
          privateKey: '5PjVtasdHeiRVvKaRyhG7qKfWxZnzwez9FbNS9Qx8hALSiAWoE6C6HFSoctqxaZbErNNk9yYyfPwQ9pKiuSbyoi',
          publicKey: '01442e4e84C5Da665eCcFbf766400E9C6B21A0000f8cdc202E35133dA4A41A3715',
          accountHash: 'account-hash-26d819b30dafeb95f3bd333f1ba27ecab71b5a3637ea8e63725b8374abbe3875'
        }
      }
