# stx\_getAddresses

Requests the user's Stacks addresses from the connected wallet.

***

### Usage

```ts
import { request } from '@stacks/connect';

const result = await request('stx_getAddresses', {
  network: 'mainnet',
});

for (const entry of result.addresses) {
  console.log(`Address: ${entry.address}`);
  console.log(`Public Key: ${entry.publicKey}`);
}
```

#### Notes

* This method returns only Stacks (STX) addresses. For BTC addresses, use [`getAddresses`](https://docs.stacks.co/reference/stacks.js/stacks-connect/methods/getaddresses).
* If you need to prompt the user to select a wallet first, use [`connect`](https://docs.stacks.co/reference/stacks.js/stacks-connect/connection/connect) instead.
* Results are automatically cached in local storage when `enableLocalStorage` is `true` (the default).
