Overview
This node fetches detailed account information from the WAX blockchain. It is useful when you need to retrieve on-chain data about a specific WAX account, such as its balances, permissions, and other blockchain-related metadata.
Common scenarios include:
- Verifying user account details before processing transactions.
- Displaying blockchain account information in dashboards or reports.
- Integrating WAX account data into workflows for gaming, NFT marketplaces, or decentralized applications built on WAX.
For example, you can input a WAX account name and get back comprehensive account details like resource usage, permissions, and linked keys.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Account Name | The exact name of the WAX blockchain account to query. |
| API Endpoint | The URL of the WAX blockchain API endpoint to send the request to (default provided). |
Output
The output is an array where each item contains a json object with the full response from the WAX blockchain's get_account API endpoint. This includes detailed account information such as:
- Account creation time
- RAM usage and quota
- CPU and NET bandwidth limits and usage
- Permissions and associated public keys
- Refund requests and other blockchain-specific metadata
No binary data is output by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the WAX blockchain API endpoint, which by default is set to
https://wax.greymass.com. - Uses HTTP POST requests to interact with the blockchain API.
- No additional credentials are explicitly required, but the endpoint must be accessible.
Troubleshooting
- Network errors or timeouts: Ensure the specified API endpoint is reachable and operational.
- Invalid account name errors: Verify that the account name exists on the WAX blockchain and is correctly spelled.
- Unexpected API responses: Confirm the endpoint URL is correct and supports the
/v1/chain/get_accountmethod. - If the node returns empty or incomplete data, check if the account has been created or has any activity on the blockchain.
