Getting the account information

Get the public key and balance of an account.

Prerequisites

Method #01: Using the SDK

Open a new file and call the getAccountInfo function from the AccountHttp repository. Pass your account’s address as a parameter.

// replace with address
const rawAddress = 'TB6Q5E-YACWBP-CXKGIL-I6XWCH-DRFLTB-KUK34I-YJQ';
const address = Address.createFromRawAddress(rawAddress);
// replace with node endpoint
const nodeUrl = 'NODE_URL';
const repositoryFactory = new RepositoryFactoryHttp(nodeUrl);
const accountHttp = repositoryFactory.createAccountRepository();

accountHttp.getAccountInfo(address).subscribe(
  (accountInfo) => console.log(accountInfo),
  (err) => console.error(err),
);
// replace with address
const rawAddress = 'TB6Q5E-YACWBP-CXKGIL-I6XWCH-DRFLTB-KUK34I-YJQ';
const address = symbol_sdk_1.Address.createFromRawAddress(rawAddress);
// replace with node endpoint
const nodeUrl = 'NODE_URL';
const repositoryFactory = new symbol_sdk_1.RepositoryFactoryHttp(nodeUrl);
const accountHttp = repositoryFactory.createAccountRepository();
accountHttp.getAccountInfo(address).subscribe(
  (accountInfo) => console.log(accountInfo),
  (err) => console.error(err),
);
        // replace with node endpoint
        try (final RepositoryFactory repositoryFactory = new RepositoryFactoryVertxImpl(
            "NODE_URL")) {
            final AccountRepository accountRepository = repositoryFactory
                .createAccountRepository();

            // Replace with an address
            final String rawAddress = "TB6Q5E-YACWBP-CXKGIL-I6XWCH-DRFLTB-KUK34I-YJQ";
            final Address address = Address.createFromRawAddress(rawAddress);
            final AccountInfo accountInfo = accountRepository
                .getAccountInfo(address).toFuture().get();
            final JsonHelper helper = new JsonHelperJackson2();
            System.out.println(helper.prettyPrint(accountInfo));
        }

Method #02: Using the CLI

Open a terminal window and run the following command.

Replace TCHBDE-NCLKEB-ILBPWP-3JPB2X-NY64OE-7PYHHE-32I with the address you want to query.

symbol-cli account info --address TCHBDE-NCLKEB-ILBPWP-3JPB2X-NY64OE-7PYHHE-32I
