# getProgramAccounts

Returns all accounts owned by the specified program.

## Request

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "getProgramAccounts",
  "params": [
    "<programId>",
    {
      "encoding": "base64",
      "filters": [],
      "dataSlice": { "offset": 0, "length": 100 },
      "withContext": false
    }
  ]
}
```

## Parameters

| Parameter     | Type    | Required | Description                                                        |
| ------------- | ------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `programId`   | string  | Yes      | Base58-encoded program public key                                  |
| `encoding`    | string  | No       | `"base64"` (default), `"base58"`, or `"base64+zstd"`               |
| `filters`     | array   | No       | Filter results using `dataSize` or `memcmp`                        |
| `dataSlice`   | object  | No       | Limit returned data to `{ offset, length }`                        |
| `withContext` | bool    | No       | If `true`, wraps result in `{ context: { slot }, value: [...] }`   |
| `limit`       | integer | No       | Max results per page (1–10,000, default 1,000). Enables pagination |
| `after`       | string  | No       | Cursor pubkey for pagination. Returns results after this key       |

## Filters

### dataSize

```json
{ "dataSize": 165 }
```

Only return accounts with the specified data length in bytes.

### memcmp

```json
{
  "memcmp": {
    "offset": 32,
    "bytes": "<base58-encoded-bytes>",
    "encoding": "base58"
  }
}
```

| Field      | Type    | Description                        |
| ---------- | ------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `offset`   | integer | Byte offset into account data      |
| `bytes`    | string  | Encoded bytes to match             |
| `encoding` | string  | `"base58"` (default) or `"base64"` |

## Response (Standard)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": [
    {
      "pubkey": "AccountPublicKey...",
      "account": {
        "data": ["base64-data...", "base64"],
        "executable": false,
        "lamports": 2039280,
        "owner": "ProgramPublicKey...",
        "rentEpoch": 361,
        "space": 165
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

## Response (with `withContext: true`)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": {
    "context": { "slot": 123456789 },
    "value": [
      {
        "pubkey": "AccountPublicKey...",
        "account": { ... }
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

## Response (Paginated — when `limit` or `after` is provided)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": {
    "accounts": [ ... ],
    "paginationKey": "LastAccountPubkey...",
    "totalResults": 54321
  }
}
```

| Field           | Type           | Description                                         |
| --------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `accounts`      | array          | Array of account objects                            |
| `paginationKey` | string or null | Pass as `after` in next request. `null` = last page |
| `totalResults`  | integer        | Total matching accounts across all pages            |

## Example

```bash
curl -X POST https://rpc.thornode.io/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "getProgramAccounts",
    "params": [
      "TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA",
      {
        "encoding": "base64",
        "filters": [
          { "dataSize": 165 },
          { "memcmp": { "offset": 32, "bytes": "YourWalletPubkey..." } }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }'
```

## Large Query Protection

Queries that would return more than **100,000 accounts** (or **10,000** for Token Program / Token-2022) are automatically rejected with a `-32600` error directing you to use `getProgramAccountsV2` with pagination instead.

This applies to unfiltered or broadly-filtered V1 requests. To avoid this, either:

* Use `getProgramAccountsV2` with `limit` and `paginationKey` for large result sets
* Add `dataSize` or `memcmp` filters to narrow results below the threshold

**Example error response:**

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "error": {
    "code": -32600,
    "message": "Too many accounts requested (Large number of pubkeys), Please use getProgramAccountsV2 with pagination to handle large datasets."
  }
}
```

## Error Codes

| Code     | Message                     | Description                                         |
| -------- | --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `-32600` | Too many accounts requested | Result set too large for V1. Use V2 with pagination |
| `-32602` | Invalid params              | Missing or malformed parameters                     |
| `-32004` | Program is still indexing   | Data not yet available, retry shortly               |
| `-32603` | Internal error              | Server-side error                                   |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.thornode.io/infrastructure/fastgate-rpc/get-program-accounts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
