Can snaps access the users Public Addresses or Asset lists?

[crazyrabbitLTC]

I'm thinking of building a snap that relies upon knowing a users list of Public Addresses and Asset Lists. Basically I want to use a chron job to check if the user has any notifications for their Addresses or an asset that they hold. Is this something that is possible to do inside a snap?

This is not possible within snaps. The closest you can get is to ask the user to input the things they want to watch, save them in snap storage, then use cron to do your checks.

To add, you can ask the user to input the addresses & assets they want to watch via a dapp, or you can use the snap dialog "prompt" type to take an address input as plain text.

So we can't then directly access their own addresses and/or assets from the snap itself? The use case we're thinking about here is that the cron job would query every interval an api, sending the Address of the users Wallet, and receiving back any notifications about the address or the assets it holds. If instead we asked the user to input this, how would we associate the cron job with the Snap? Dennison

When the user inputs their address, either via connecting to a dapp or into a dialog of type prompt, you can store that address using the ManageState API. Then, in your cron job code, you retrieve the address from the same ManageState API and append it to the API request. I can probably whip up a quick example of this if it would help!
