## Parameters

**`pubkey`** · string · required

Pubkey of account to query, as base-58 encoded string.

**`config`** · object

Configuration object.

**`commitment`** · string · default `finalized`

Values: `processed`, `confirmed`, `finalized`

Solana RPC uses the following commitment levels:

| Value       | Description                                                                                                                                                                        |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `processed` | Return data from the highest slot this node has processed on the fork it currently considers best. This is the newest view, but it can still change if the cluster switches forks. |
| `confirmed` | Return data from the highest slot the cluster has finalized. On Alpenglow, `confirmed` and `finalized` are the same level.                                                         |
| `finalized` | Return data from the highest slot that the cluster has finalized. On Alpenglow there are no vote towers or lockouts: a slot is finalized by certificates of aggregated votes.      |

**`minContextSlot`** · number

The minimum slot that the request can be evaluated at.

## Response

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": {
    "context": { "apiVersion": "4.3.2", "slot": 1 },
    "value": 0
  },
  "id": 1
}
```

## Result

RpcResponse object containing:

**`context`** · object

Slot and API version the node used to answer this request.

| Field        | Type     | Description                                                                     |
| ------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `slot`       | `u64`    | Slot at which the node evaluated this request.                                  |
| `apiVersion` | `string` | RPC API version reported by the node. This field may be omitted by older nodes. |

**`value`** · u64

Account balance, in lamports.
