Get account info

A query that returns the current state of the account. This query does not include the list of records associated with the account. Anyone on the network can request account info for a given account. Queries do not change the state of the account or require network consensus. The information is returned from a single node processing the query.

In Services release 0.50, returning token balance information from the consensus node was deprecated with HIP-367. This query now returns token information by requesting the information from the Hedera Mirror Node APIs via /api/v1/accounts/{id}/tokens. Token symbol is not returned in the response.

Consider Using Mirror Node REST API

For obtaining account information and historical data, consider using the Mirror Node REST API endpoint Get Account by Alias, ID, or EVM Address which offers several advantages:

• Cost-effective and scalable: Mirror node providers offer paid plans with a large number of queries included. The Hedera-hosted mirror node offers free queries with specific throttles for testing. While some SDK queries are currently free, these are subject to change in the future.
• Performance: Mirror nodes don’t burden consensus nodes, allowing them to focus on processing transactions and providing efficient access to historical data without impacting network performance.
• Historical data: Mirror nodes store complete transaction history and balance snapshots - ideal for analytics, auditing, and monitoring past activity.

Query Fees

• Please see the transaction and query fees table for the base transaction fee
• Please use the Hedera fee estimator to estimate your query fee cost

Query Signing Requirements

• The client operator private key is required to sign the query request.
