+=====================
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+    myContract.methods.myMethod([param1[, param2[, ...]]]).createAccessList(options, blockHashOrBlockNumber [, callback])
+
+Will call to create an access list a method execution will access when executed in the EVM.
+Note: Currently `eth_createAccessList` seems to only be supported by Geth.
+Note: You must specify a ``from`` address and ``gas`` if it's not specified in ``options`` when instantiating parent contract object (e.g. ``new web3.eth.Contract(jsonInterface[, address][, options])``).
+
+----------
+Parameters
+----------
+
+1. ``options`` - ``Object``: The options used for calling.
+    * ``from`` - ``String``: The address the call "transaction" should be made from.
+    * ``gas`` - ``Number`` (optional): The maximum gas provided for this call "transaction" (gas limit). Setting a specific value helps to detect out of gas errors. Access list response will return amount of gas used.
+2. ``block`` - ``String|Number|BN|BigNumber`` (optional): The block number or hash. Or the string ``"earliest"``, ``"latest"`` or ``"pending"`` as in the :ref:`default block parameter <eth-defaultblock>`.
+3. ``callback`` - ``Function`` (optional): This callback will be fired with the result of the access list generation as the second argument, or with an error object as the first argument.
