Accounts / Contracts
The RPC API enables you to view details about accounts and contracts as well as perform contract calls.
View account
Returns basic account information.
Example:
- JSON
- JavaScript
- HTTPie
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": "dontcare",
"method": "query",
"params": {
"request_type": "view_account",
"finality": "final",
"account_id": "nearkat.testnet"
}
}
const response = await near.connection.provider.query({
request_type: "view_account",
finality: "final",
account_id: "nearkat.testnet",
});
http post https://rpc.testnet.near.org jsonrpc=2.0 id=dontcare method=query \
params:='{
"request_type": "view_account",
"finality": "final",
"account_id": "nearkat.testnet"
}'
Example response:

"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"result": {
"amount": "399992611103597728750000000",
"locked": "0",

},
"id": "dontcare"
}
What Could Go Wrong?
When API request fails, RPC server returns a structured error response with a limited number of well-defined error variants, so client code can exhaustively handle all the possible error cases. Our JSON-RPC errors follow verror convention for structuring the error response:
{
"error": {
"name": <ERROR_TYPE>,
"cause": {
"info": {..},
"name": <ERROR_CAUSE>
},
"code": -32000,
"data": String,
"message": "Server error",
},
"id": "dontcare",
"jsonrpc": "2.0"
}
Heads up
The fields
code
,data
, andmessage
in the structure above are considered legacy ones and might be deprecated in the future. Please, don't rely on them.
Here is the exhaustive list of the error variants that can be returned by view_account
request type:
ERROR_TYPE | ERROR_CAUSEerror.cause.name | Status Code | Reason | Solution |
---|---|---|---|---|
HANDLER_ERROR | UNKNOWN_BLOCK | 200 | The requested block has not been produced yet or it has been garbage-collected (cleaned up to save space on the RPC node) |
|
INVALID_ACCOUNT | 200 | The requested account_id is invalid |
| |
UNKNOWN_ACCOUNT | 200 | The requested account_id has not been found while viewing since the account has not been created or has been already deleted |
| |
UNAVAILABLE_SHARD | 200 | The node was unable to find the requested data because it does not track the shard where data is present |
| |
NO_SYNCED_BLOCKS | 200 | The node is still syncing and the requested block is not in the database yet |
| |
REQUEST_VALIDATION_ERROR | PARSE_ERROR | 400 | Passed arguments can't be parsed by JSON RPC server (missing arguments, wrong format, etc.) |
|
INTERNAL_ERROR | INTERNAL_ERROR | 500 | Something went wrong with the node itself or overloaded |
|
