# Get account

`GET /accounts/{address}`

## Request

- Base URL: `aptos-mainnet.nodereal.io/v1/{api_key}/v1` (relative, and the document’s source URL is not known)
- URL: `aptos-mainnet.nodereal.io/v1/{api_key}/v1/accounts/{address}`
- Auth: none declared

Retrieves high level information about an account such as its sequence number and
authentication key

Returns a 404 if the account doesn't exist

## Path parameters

- `address` string, hex, required: A hex encoded 32 byte Aptos account address. This is represented in a string as a 64 character hex string, sometimes shortened by stripping leading 0s, and adding a 0x. For example, address 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 is represented as 0x1.

## Query parameters

- `ledger_version` string, uint64: A string containing a 64-bit unsigned integer. We represent u64 values as a string to ensure compatibility with languages such as JavaScript that do not parse u64s in JSON natively.

## Response `200`

- AccountData: Account data A simplified version of the onchain Account resource
  - `sequence_number` string, uint64, required: A string containing a 64-bit unsigned integer. We represent u64 values as a string to ensure compatibility with languages such as JavaScript that do not parse u64s in JSON natively.
  - `authentication_key` string, hex, required: All bytes (Vec<u8>) data is represented as hex-encoded string prefixed with `0x` and fulfilled with two hex digits per byte. Unlike the `Address` type, HexEncodedBytes will not trim any zeros.
