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

  await window.ethereum.request({
    method: 'wallet_invokeSnap',
    params: {
      snapId,
      request: {
        method: 'hts/pauseToken',
        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 the account that has the ability to pause. This is defined during account creation with pausePublicKey parameter.

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 Pause Token API to pause a token. A token pause transaction prevents the token from being involved in any kind of operation. The token's pause key is required to sign the transaction. This is a key that is specified during the creation of a token. If a token has no pause key, you will not be able to pause the token. If the pause key was not set during the creation of a token, you will not be able to update the token to add this key.

4. This action cannot be called if this token was created without passing the pausePublicKey parameter. Furthermore, this action must also be called using the same public key account.

5. Returns the transaction receipt as response

An example response:
