How to call the API from an app

Hedera Wallet Snap connects to your currently connected Metamask account by default. To learn how apps can connect to Hedera Wallet Snap using a non-metamask(external) account, refer to this documentation.

Then, depending on whether you're trying to connect to a metamask account or a non-metamask account, you can call the snap API in the following way:

const snapId = `npm:@hashgraph/hedera-wallet-snap`

const deleteTokenAPI = async () => {
  const externalAccountParams = {
    externalAccount: {
      accountIdOrEvmAddress: '0.0.12345',
      curve: 'ED25519'
    }
  }

  await window.ethereum.request({
    method: 'wallet_invokeSnap',
    params: {
      snapId,
      request: {
        method: 'hts/deleteToken',
        params: {
          network: 'testnet',
          tokenId: '0.0.4280233',
          /* 
            Uncomment the below line if you want to connect 
            to a non-metamask account
          */
          // ...externalAccountParams
        }
      }
    }
  })
}

• You must call this API with an admin account. This is the account that had created the token originally

What the API does

1. Retrieves the currently connected account the user has selected on Metamask. If it's the first time, a new snap account is created and the account info is saved in snap state.

2. Parses the arguments that were passed such as the tokenId.

3. Calls the Hedera SDK Delete Token API to delete a token . Deleing a token marks a token as deleted, though it will remain in the ledger. The operation must be signed by the specified Admin Key of the Token. If the Admin Key is not set, the Transaction will result in TOKEN_IS_IMMUTABlE. Once deleted update, mint, burn, wipe, freeze, unfreeze, grant KYC, revoke KYC and token transfer transactions will resolve to TOKEN_WAS_DELETED.

4. This action cannot be called if this token was created without the admin key being set during token creation. Furthermore, this action must also be called using the same public key account.

5. Returns the transaction receipt as response

An example response:
