Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to retrieve the private key of an account created in account pools ?  
I cannot find or a missed the information in documentation: [KAS Reference Documentation](https://refs.klaytnapi.com/en/wallet/latest#section/Introduction)

I know that it is not necessary as I can use the API to use it, but I need it to proving my contract ownership in external services as Opensea.

Thank you.

Hi, Thank you for asking the question 🙂  
Sorry to say this, but KAS does not support an API that tells the user the private key of an account.  
The information hiding there is the address string.
