Privy allows you to import a single user into your Privy app. To import a user, pass their linked accounts (wallet, email, etc.) as part of the import request. You can also create a wallet during import with wallet pregeneration.

When an imported user logs in, all of their imported accounts will be included in their user object. If the imported user has a pregenerated embedded wallet, that wallet will be available to the user upon sign in.

Use the PrivyClient’s importUser method to import a single user into your Privy app.

const user = await privy.importUser({
  linkedAccounts: [
    {
      type: 'email',
      address: '[email protected]'
    }
  ],
  createEthereumWallet: true,
  createSolanaWallet: true,
  createEthereumSmartWallet: true
});

User import endpoints have a rate limit of 240 users in total per minute. If you are being rate limited, responses will have status code 429. We suggest you set up exponential back-offs starting at 1 second to seamlessly recover.
