Generate Keypair¶
Keypair
object represents key pair used to
sign transactions in Stellar network. Keypair
object can contain both a public and private key, or only a public key.
If Keypair
object does not contain private
key it can’t be used to sign transactions. The most convenient method of
creating new keypair is by passing the account’s secret seed:
1 2 3 4 5 | from stellar_sdk import Keypair
keypair = Keypair.from_secret("SBK2VIYYSVG76E7VC3QHYARNFLY2EAQXDHRC7BMXBBGIFG74ARPRMNQM")
public_key = keypair.public_key # GDHMW6QZOL73SHKG2JA3YHXFDHM46SS5ZRWEYF5BCYHX2C5TVO6KZBYL
can_sign = keypair.can_sign() # True
|
You can create a keypair from public key, but its function is limited:
1 2 3 4 | from stellar_sdk import Keypair
keypair = Keypair.from_public_key("GDHMW6QZOL73SHKG2JA3YHXFDHM46SS5ZRWEYF5BCYHX2C5TVO6KZBYL")
can_sign = keypair.can_sign() # False
|
You can also create a randomly generated keypair:
1 2 3 4 5 | from stellar_sdk import Keypair
keypair = Keypair.random()
print("Public Key: " + keypair.public_key)
print("Secret Seed: " + keypair.secret)
