Solana: how to get list of tokens(not NFTs) that are created by solana user

Getting a List of Tokens Created by a Solana User

Solana is a popular blockchain platform known for its fast and scalable transaction processing. One of the exciting features of Solana is the ability to create non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which are unique digital assets that represent ownership or identity. However, not all NFTs are created by users; some are created by smart contracts on the blockchain.

One way to get a list of tokens created by a user is through the getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner method provided by Solana. Here’s an article detailing how you can use this method:

Overview

getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner is a utility function that retrieves a list of token accounts owned by a specific owner on the Solana blockchain. This function allows developers to access user-controlled assets, such as NFTs and other unique digital tokens.

How to Get Started

To use getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner, you’ll need to:

• Install the necessary dependencies: You can install the solana package using npm or yarn by running the following command:

npm install solana

or

yarn add solana

• Create a Solana CLI configuration file (e.g., config.toml) and import it in your main script.

• Initialize a new Solana cluster using the solana-cli command.

Example Code

Here’s an example code snippet that demonstrates how to use getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner:

// Import the solana CLI configuration file

const config = require('./config.toml');


// Initialize a new Solana cluster

async function main() {

  // Create a new instance of the Solana client

  const cli = new Cli({

    // Set the cluster URL and credentials

    url: '

    key: config.key,

  });


  // Get the current block number

  const { getLatestBlockNumber } = cli;

  const latestBlockNumber = await getLatestBlockNumber();


  // Fetch a list of token accounts owned by the owner with the specified token ID

  async function getParsedTokenAccounts(tokenId) {

    return await cli.getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner({

      owner: 'YOUR_USER_ADDRESS',

      tokenId,

    });

  }


  // Get the list of NFTs created by your user

  const nftList = await getParsedTokenAccounts(123456789);

  console.log(nftList);


  // You can also use this function to get a single NFT's metadata

  const nftMetadata = await cli.getNFTMetadata(123456789, 'YOUR_TOKEN_ID');

  console.log(nftMetadata);

}


main();

Note

• Make sure to replace YOUR_USER_ADDRESS and YOUR_TOKEN_ID with the actual owner address and token ID you want to retrieve.

• The getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner function returns a list of token accounts, including NFTs. You can use this function to get specific information about each token.
