# Get Assets By Owner

The method returns a list of assets owned by a certain address or account. You can query the API for all assets associated with that owner by supplying the owner's pubkey as a parameter.

This is the more efficient version of \`getTokenAccountsByOwner\` in the standard Solana RPC API and allows you to access and retrieve the assets owned by a specific address, enabling functionalities like displaying a user's NFT collection, managing ownership, or facilitating transactions involving the owner's assets.
