How to Generate P2SH Address from XPUB Ledger

Question

I'm trying to Generate unused receiving Addresses for a Segwit P2SH wallet in my Ledger. I tried https://pypi.org/project/bitcoinlib/ but without success, the addresses weren't right.

This is from my Ledger:

{
  "xpub": "xpub...",
  "index": 0,
  "freshAddressPath": "49'/0'/0'/0/6",
  "id": "js:2:bitcoin:xpub...:segwit",
  "blockHeight": 753361
}

Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

Ledger is using incorrect version prefix. Most libraries/wallets/online tools use ypub format for P2SH address

To make this work you can use any of the following tools to convert you xpub to ypub:
