100 credits per API call. Tatum covers the fee connected to the transaction costs in subscription credits. This operation can be done on mainnet only for paid plans.
Create Flow blockchain addresses from public key. This will generate address on the blockchain with public key. Private key for that public key can be used for signing transaction. There are two possibilites how the transaction on the blockchain can be created:
- Using mnemonic and index - private key is generated based on the index in the mnemonic.
- Using secret - private keys is entered manually.
This operation needs the private key of the blockchain address. Every time the funds are transferred, the transaction must be signed with the corresponding private key. No one should ever send it's own private keys to the internet because there is a strong possibility of stealing keys and losing funds. In this method, it is possible to enter privateKey or signatureId. PrivateKey should be used only for quick development on testnet versions of blockchain when there is no risk of losing funds. In production, Tatum KMS should be used for the highest security standards, and signatureId should be present in the request. Alternatively, using the Tatum client library for supported languages.
