Can someone help me or guide me to the right direction of how to do this?

Basically, this is what I want the script to do

1. Make artboard the size of my selected artwork + 1" offset

2. Create a circle at each of the corner of the artboard

I figured out the script for #1 but I can't find figure out #2. Could anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Wherever you want to put a circle, use the document.pathItems.ellipse() function. Into this function you pass 4 numbers separated by commas, the 1st 2 numbers are the top and the left coordinates, while the next 2 are width and height, respectively.

One such examples is:
var doc = app.activeDocument;

var newCircle = doc.pathItems.ellipse(0,0,10,10);

It creates a 10-diameter circle with the top/left of its bounding box at 0,0

For me it produced the following result:
