# account_info
[[Source]](https://github.com/ripple/rippled/blob/master/src/ripple/rpc/handlers/AccountInfo.cpp "Source")
The `account_info` command retrieves information about an account, its activity, and its XRP balance. All information retrieved is relative to a particular version of the ledger.
## Request Format
An example of an account_info request:
*WebSocket*
```json
{
"id": 2,
"command": "account_info",
"account": "rG1QQv2nh2gr7RCZ1P8YYcBUKCCN633jCn",
"strict": true,
"ledger_index": "current",
"queue": true
}
```
*JSON-RPC*
```json
{
"method": "account_info",
"params": [
{
"account": "rG1QQv2nh2gr7RCZ1P8YYcBUKCCN633jCn",
"strict": true,
"ledger_index": "current",
"queue": true
}
]
}
```
*Commandline*
```sh
#Syntax: account_info account [ledger_index|ledger_hash] [strict]
rippled account_info rG1QQv2nh2gr7RCZ1P8YYcBUKCCN633jCn validated strict
```
[Try it! >](websocket-api-tool.html#account_info)
The request contains the following parameters:
| `Field` | Type | Description |
|:---------------|:---------------------------|:-------------------------------|
| `account` | String | A unique identifier for the account, most commonly the account's [Address][]. |
| `ledger_hash` | String | _(Optional)_ A 20-byte hex string for the ledger version to use. (See [Specifying Ledgers][]) |
| `ledger_index` | String or Unsigned Integer | _(Optional)_ The [ledger index][] of the ledger to use, or a shortcut string to choose a ledger automatically. (See [Specifying Ledgers][]) |
| `queue` | Boolean | _(Optional)_ If `true`, and the [FeeEscalation amendment][] is enabled, also returns stats about queued transactions associated with this account. Can only be used when querying for the data from the current open ledger. [New in: rippled 0.33.0][] Not available from servers in [Reporting Mode][]. |
| `signer_lists` | Boolean | _(Optional)_ If `true`, and the [MultiSign amendment][] is enabled, also returns any [SignerList objects](signerlist.html) associated with this account. [New in: rippled 0.31.0][] |
| `strict` | Boolean | _(Optional)_ If `true`, then the `account` field only accepts a public key or XRP Ledger address. Otherwise, `account` can be a secret or passphrase (not recommended). The default is `false`. |
The following fields are deprecated and should not be provided: `ident`, `ledger`.

The response follows the [standard format][], with the result containing the requested account, its data, and a ledger to which it applies, as the following fields:
| `Field` | Type | Description |
|:-----------------------|:--------|:------------------------------------------|
| `account_data` | Object | The [AccountRoot ledger object](accountroot.html) with this account's information, as stored in the ledger. |
| `signer_lists` | Array | _(Omitted unless the request specified `signer_lists` and at least one SignerList is associated with the account.)_ Array of [SignerList ledger objects](signerlist.html) associated with this account for [Multi-Signing](multi-signing.html). Since an account can own at most one SignerList, this array must have exactly one member if it is present. [New in: rippled 0.31.0][] |
| `ledger_current_index` | Integer | _(Omitted if `ledger_index` is provided instead)_ The [ledger index][] of the current in-progress ledger, which was used when retrieving this information. |
| `ledger_index` | Integer | _(Omitted if `ledger_current_index` is provided instead)_ The [ledger index][] of the ledger version used when retrieving this information. The information does not contain any changes from ledger versions newer than this one. |
| `queue_data` | Object | _(Omitted unless `queue` specified as `true` and querying the current open ledger.)_ Information about [queued transactions](transaction-cost.html#queued-transactions) sent by this account. This information describes the state of the local `rippled` server, which may be different from other servers in the [peer-to-peer XRP Ledger network](consensus-network.html). Some fields may be omitted because the values are calculated "lazily" by the queuing mechanism. |
| `validated` | Boolean | True if this data is from a validated ledger version; if omitted or set to false, this data is not final. [New in: rippled 0.26.0][] |
The `queue_data` parameter, if present, contains the following fields:
| `Field` | Type | Description |
|:------------------------|:--------|:-----------------------------------------|
| `txn_count` | Integer | Number of queued transactions from this address. |
| `auth_change_queued` | Boolean | (May be omitted) Whether a transaction in the queue changes this address's [ways of authorizing transactions](transaction-basics.html#authorizing-transactions). If `true`, this address can queue no further transactions until that transaction has been executed or dropped from the queue. |
| `lowest_sequence` | Integer | (May be omitted) The lowest [Sequence Number][] among transactions queued by this address. |
| `highest_sequence` | Integer | (May be omitted) The highest [Sequence Number][] among transactions queued by this address. |
| `max_spend_drops_total` | String | (May be omitted) Integer amount of [drops of XRP][] that could be debited from this address if every transaction in the queue consumes the maximum amount of XRP possible. |
| `transactions` | Array | (May be omitted) Information about each queued transaction from this address. |
Each object in the `transactions` array, if present, may contain any or all of the following fields:
| `Field` | Type | Description |
|:------------------|:--------|:-----------------------------------------------|
| `auth_change` | Boolean | Whether this transaction changes this address's [ways of authorizing transactions](transaction-basics.html#authorizing-transactions). |
| `fee` | String | The [Transaction Cost](transaction-cost.html) of this transaction, in [drops of XRP][]. |
| `fee_level` | String | The transaction cost of this transaction, relative to the minimum cost for this type of transaction, in [fee levels][]. |
| `max_spend_drops` | String | The maximum amount of [XRP, in drops][], this transaction could send or destroy. |
| `seq` | Integer | The [Sequence Number][] of this transaction. |
## Possible Errors
* Any of the [universal error types][].
* `invalidParams` - One or more fields are specified incorrectly, or one or more required fields are missing. For example, the request specified `queue` as `true` but specified a `ledger_index` that is not the current open ledger.
* `actNotFound` - The address specified in the `account` field of the request does not correspond to an account in the ledger.
* `lgrNotFound` - The ledger specified by the `ledger_hash` or `ledger_index` does not exist, or it does exist but the server does not have it.
