Getting Signed Transaction Data from MetaMask
As a developer, you probably know how important it is to keep your applications secure and reliable. One aspect of this is ensuring that users can easily sign transactions on their own devices. In this article, we’ll show you how to get signed transaction data from MetaMask.
Why do we need signed transaction data?
In many blockchain applications, users need to authorize transactions on behalf of others or use certain features, such as smart contracts. To make this possible, you need a way to securely store and manage user consent for specific transactions. A key part of this process is signed transaction data, which allows MetaMask to verify that a user has given consent to perform a specific action.
How to Get Signed Transaction Data from MetaMask
To access signed transaction data from MetaMask, you need to use its web API. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Register an Account with MetaMask
Before you can start using MetaMask’s web API, you’ll need to register an account on their website. This will give you a MetaMask wallet that you can use to interact with the API.

Step 2: Choose a Signed Transaction Method
MetaMask provides two methods for obtaining signed transaction data:
- Signed Transaction Request: This method involves generating a signed transaction request using your own private key. You’ll need to provide the user’s wallet address, transaction amount, and other details.
- Sign and Send: This method is similar to the Signed Transaction Request method, but allows you to send signed transactions directly.
Step 3: Get the User’s Wallet Address
To use either method, you’ll need to get the user’s wallet address. This can be done in the following ways:
- Checking if MetaMask is connected to the user’s browser (if they have enabled Web Storage)
- Requiring the user to manually enter their wallet address
Step 4: Generating Signed Transaction Data
Once you have the user’s wallet address, generate a signed transaction request using your private key. This can be done by calling MetaMask’s signTransaction
function and passing it the necessary parameters.
const account = 'wallet-address';
constant amount = 10n ;
constant chainId = 1; // Ethereum
const network type = 4; // main network
const signedTxData = await metaMask.signTransaction({
from: account,
to: '0x...', // user's wallet address
data: {
// transaction data (e.g. gas, value, etc.)
},
gas: 20000,
nonce: 'your-value-nonce'
});
console .log ( signedTxData );
Step 5: Submit the signed transaction
Now that you have a signed transaction request, you can send it to MetaMask using the sendTransaction
function. You will need to enter the user’s wallet address and any additional details required by the network.
const sendTx = await metaMask.sendTransaction(signedTxData);
console .log ( sendTx );
Conclusion
Following the steps below, you can obtain signed transaction data from MetaMask for your application. Be sure to handle errors and edge cases properly, as this process requires paying close attention to detail.
