getMultipleAccounts RPC Method

Returns the account information for a list of Pubkeys.

Parameters #

array required

An array of Pubkeys to query, as base-58 encoded strings (up to a maximum of 100)

object optional

Configuration object containing the following fields:

commitment string optional

minContextSlot number optional

The minimum slot that the request can be evaluated at

dataSlice object optional

Request a slice of the account's data.

  • length: <usize> - number of bytes to return
  • offset: <usize> - byte offset from which to start reading
Info

Data slicing is only available for base58, base64, or base64+zstd encodings.

encoding string optional

Default: base64

encoding format for the returned Account data

Values: jsonParsedbase58base64base64+zstd

  • base58 is slow and limited to less than 129 bytes of Account data.
  • base64 will return base64 encoded data for Account data of any size.
  • base64+zstd compresses the Account data using Zstandard and base64-encodes the result.
  • jsonParsed encoding attempts to use program-specific state parsers to return more human-readable and explicit account state data.
  • If jsonParsed is requested but a parser cannot be found, the field falls back to base64 encoding, detectable when the data field is type <string>.

Result #

The result will be a JSON object with value equal to an array of:

  • <null> - if the account at that Pubkey doesn't exist, or
  • <object> - a JSON object containing:
    • lamports: <u64> - number of lamports assigned to this account, as a u64
    • owner: <string> - base-58 encoded Pubkey of the program this account has been assigned to
    • data: <[string, encoding]|object> - data associated with the account, either as encoded binary data or JSON format {<program>: <state>} - depending on encoding parameter
    • executable: <bool> - boolean indicating if the account contains a program (and is strictly read-only)
    • rentEpoch: <u64> - the epoch at which this account will next owe rent, as u64
    • space: <u64> - the data size of the account
