wallet_invokeSnap

Description​

Invoke a method of a Snap, designated by the snapId parameter, with a JSON-RPC request specified in the request parameter. This is effectively a wrapper around wallet_snap that allows for more convenient invocation of Snap methods without needing to specify the full wallet_snap parameters.

The Snap must be installed and the dapp must have permission to communicate with the Snap, or the request is rejected. The dapp can install the Snap and request permission to communicate with it using wallet_requestSnaps.

Parameters​

snapId

stringrequired

The ID of the Snap to invoke.

request

Record<string, Json>required

The JSON-RPC request to send to the Snap.

Returns​

Json

The result of the Snap method call.

Example

const result = await snap.request({
  method: "wallet_invokeSnap",
  params: {
    snapId: "npm:@metamask/example-snap",
    request: {
      method: "someMethod",
      params: { some: "params" },
    },
  },
});
