oh,thanks. but, How to get EthereumKeystoreV3 by PrivateKeyData or PrivateKeyString ? I want Export keystore json only by PrivateKeyData.

[shamatar]

If you have a private key (64 hex symbols), then you should just initialize EthereumKeystoreV3 with a private key (first convert your hex string to Data) and password, and then export EthereumKeystoreV3 as JSON

hi, can you create a Bip32Keystore using the privateKey? I see this function available for creating EthereumKeystoreV3 using privateKey but not for Bip32Keystore. thanks

@robegamesios HI. You can't create BIP32 keystore with private key, because it can be created using only passphrase, which is seed to private key
