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

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to get a list of tokens (non-NFTs) created by a Solana user using the “getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner” method:

Prerequisites

• You have a Solana account with the required 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 given owner. This method is specific to the Solana Transaction Analysis 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 required library: You need to install the “solana-token-metadata” package using npm or yarn:

npm install solana-token-metadata

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

const { connect } = require('@solana/web3.js');
const TokenMetadata = request('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 Owner ID: Get the Solana account ID of the user whose token you want to retrieve. To get the account object, you can use the “getAccount” method:

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

• Calling getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner

  

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

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

Sample code

Below is a sample code snippet that shows how to retrieve user-created tokens using the “getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner” method:

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

This code connects to the Solana network, initializes the token metadata index, and calls the getParsedTokenAccountsByOwner command to retrieve a list of tokens created by the given owner. The retrieved tokens are then parsed 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 should modify these functions according to your specific use case.
