Solana: How to get the list of tokens (not NFT) created by user solana

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to retrieve a list of tokens (not NFTs) created by a Solana user using the getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner method:

Prerequisites

• You have a Solana account with the necessary permissions to access token metadata.

• You have installed the Solana CLI and verified your wallet address.

Method: getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner

The getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner method allows you to retrieve a list of parsed token accounts for a specific owner. This method is specific to Solana’s transaction parsing API and is used to retrieve data that has not been previously indexed by the Solana blockchain.

Here are the steps to retrieve user-generated tokens:

• Install the required library: You will need to install the solana-token-metadata package using npm or yarn:

npm install solana-token-metadata

• Create a script that connects to your Solana cluster and initializes the token metadata index:

const {connect } = require('@solana/web3.js');
const TokenMetadata = require('solana-token-metadata');
// Connect to the Solana network (devnet or testnet)
connect();
// Initialize the token metadata index
const app = new TokenMetadata();
app.init().then(() => {
console.log('Token metadata index initialized!');
}).catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
});

• Get the owner ID: Get the Solana account ID of the user for whom you want to retrieve tokens. You can use the getAccount method to retrieve the account object:

const ownerAccount = await getAccount();
console.log('Owner account:', ownerAccount);

• Call getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner

  

  : Use the getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner function to retrieve a list of parsed token accounts for a specific owner:

const parsedTokens = await app.getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner(ownerAccount.publicKey.toString());
console.log('Parsed tokens:');
parsedTokens.forEach((token) => {
console.log(- ${token.tokenId});
});

Example code

Here is an example code snippet that shows how to retrieve user-created tokens using the getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner method:

const {connect, getAccount } = require('@solana/web3.js');
const TokenMetadata = require('solana-token-metadata');
// Connect to the Solana network (devnet or testnet)
connect();
// Initialize token metadata index
app.init().then(() => {
console.log('Token metadata index initialized!');
}).catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
});
asynchronous function fetchTokens() {
const ownerAccount = await getAccount();
const parsedTokens = await app.getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner(ownerAccount.publicKey.toString());
console.log(Parsed tokens: ${parsedTokens.length});
// Processing parsed token data
parsedTokens.forEach((token) => {
console.log(- ${token.tokenId});
});
}
fetchtoken();

This code connects to the Solana network, initializes the token metadata index, and calls getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner to retrieve the list of tokens created by the given owner. The retrieved tokens are then processed and logged to the console.

Note that this example uses the getAccount method to retrieve the account object and the getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner function to retrieve the parsed token accounts. You will need to modify these functions according to your specific use case.
