# requestAddresses

Requests a list of accounts managed by a wallet.

`requestAddresses` sends a request to the wallet, asking for permission to access the user's accounts. After the user accepts the request, it will return a list of accounts (addresses).

This API can be useful for dapps that need to access the user's accounts in order to execute transactions or interact with smart contracts.
