Access Keys

import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs'; import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';

The RPC API enables you to retrieve information about an account's access keys.

View access key

Returns information about a single access key for given account.

If permission of the key is FunctionCall, it will return more details such as the allowance, receiver_id, and method_names.

• method: query

• params:

  • request_type: view_access_key

  • finality OR block_id

  • account_id: "example.testnet"

  • public_key: "example.testnet's public key"

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, and message 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_access_key request type:

ERROR_TYPE error.name	ERROR_CAUSE error.cause.name	Reason	Solution
HANDLER_ERROR	UNKNOWN_BLOCK	The requested block has not been produced yet or it has been garbage-collected (cleaned up to save space on the RPC node)	Check that the requested block is legit If the block had been produced more than 5 epochs ago, try to send your request to an archival node
INVALID_ACCOUNT	The requested account_id is invalid	Provide a valid account_id
UNKNOWN_ACCOUNT	The requested account_id has not been found while viewing since the account has not been created or has been already deleted	Check the account_id Specify a different block or retry if you request the latest state
UNKNOWN_ACCESS_KEY	The requested public_key has not been found while viewing since the public key has not been created or has been already deleted	Check the public_key Specify a different block or retry if you request the latest state
UNAVAILABLE_SHARD	The node was unable to found the requested data because it does not track the shard where data is present	Send a request to a different node which might track the shard
NO_SYNCED_BLOCKS	The node is still syncing and the requested block is not in the database yet	Wait until the node finish syncing Send a request to a different node which is synced
REQUEST_VALIDATION_ERROR	PARSE_ERROR	Passed arguments can't be parsed by JSON RPC server (missing arguments, wrong format, etc.)	Check the arguments passed and pass the correct ones Check error.cause.info for more details
INTERNAL_ERROR	INTERNAL_ERROR	Something went wrong with the node itself or overloaded	Try again later Send a request to a different node Check error.cause.info for more details
