Getting account information

This guide will help you get the public key and balance of an account.

Prerequisites

• Finish the getting started section.
• Text editor or IDE.
• XPX-Chain-SDK or XPX-Chain-CLI.

Getting into some code

1. Call getAccountInfo function, passing your account's address as a parameter.

Golang

TypeScript

JavaScript

CLI

Java

conf, err := sdk.NewConfig(context.Background(), []string{"http://bctestnet1.brimstone.xpxsirius.io:3000"})
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

client := sdk.NewClient(nil, conf)

address, err := sdk.NewAddressFromPublicKey("...", client.NetworkType())
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

accountInfo, err := client.Account.GetAccountInfo(context.Background(), address)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

fmt.Printf(accountInfo.String())

const accountHttp = new AccountHttp('http://bctestnet1.brimstone.xpxsirius.io:3000');
const address = Address.createFromRawAddress('VD5DT3-CH4BLA-BL5HIM-EKP2TA-PUKF4N-Y3L5HR-IR54');

accountHttp
    .getAccountInfo(address)
    .subscribe(accountInfo => console.log(accountInfo), err => console.error(err));

const accountHttp = new AccountHttp('http://bctestnet1.brimstone.xpxsirius.io:3000');
const address = Address.createFromRawAddress('VD5DT3-CH4BLA-BL5HIM-EKP2TA-PUKF4N-Y3L5HR-IR54');

accountHttp
    .getAccountInfo(address)
    .subscribe(accountInfo => console.log(accountInfo), err => console.error(err));

xpx2-cli account info --address VD5DT3-CH4BLA-BL5HIM-EKP2TA-PUKF4N-Y3L5HR-IR54

    final AccountHttp accountHttp = new AccountHttp("http://bctestnet1.brimstone.xpxsirius.io:3000");

    // Replace with address
    final String address = "VD5DT3-CH4BLA-BL5HIM-EKP2TA-PUKF4N-Y3L5HR-IR54";

    final AccountInfo accountInfo = accountHttp.getAccountInfo(Address.createFromRawAddress(address)).toFuture().get();

    System.out.println(accountInfo);

Can you determine the account’s public key? The public key identifies your account publicly in the network. Your address is derived from it, which contains further information such as network and validity check.

If you don’t have a public key assigned, that means that your account has not announced or received any transactions yet. The addressHeight and publicKeyHeight specify the block where your address and public key first appeared.

2. How many different mosaics does your account hold? Call mosaicsAmountViewFromAddress function, passing your account’s address as a parameter.

The balance is the amount of the different mosaics owned by the account. How many different mosaics does your account own?

}

accountInfo, err := client.Account.GetAccountInfo(context.Background(), address)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

fmt.Println(accountInfo.Mosaics[0].Amount)
