I'm new to blockchain dev and am using the JS SDK for Algorand. Is it possible to retrieve all the assets in a wallet by its address?
Thank you
You can use an endpoint from either algod (algo daemon of the node) or indexer (Postgres database) to get this information.
Algod method:
const address = "XBYLS2E6YI6XXL5BWCAMOA4GTWHXWENZMX5UHXMRNWWUQ7BXCY5WC5TEPA";
const accountInfo = await algodClient.accountInformation(address).do();
https://algorand.github.io/js-algorand-sdk/classes/Algodv2.html#accountInformation
Indexer method:
const address = "XBYLS2E6YI6XXL5BWCAMOA4GTWHXWENZMX5UHXMRNWWUQ7BXCY5WC5TEPA";
const accountAssets = await indexerClient.lookupAccountAssets(address).do();
https://algorand.github.io/js-algorand-sdk/classes/Indexer.html#lookupAccountAssets
For demonstration purpose, I just randomly found an address from Algoexplorer.
const token = "";
const port = "";
const algodServer = "https://mainnet-api.algonode.cloud";
const indexerServer = "https://mainnet-idx.algonode.cloud";
const algodClient = new algosdk.Algodv2(token, algodServer, port);
const indexerClient = new algosdk.Indexer(token, indexerServer, port);
(async () => {
const address = "A4YW55ZEC2TTIN2TEVN56IRVGLWQYQRUNJTPG37OTWE4EJWNAH3EUKHZKA";
const algodAccountAssets = await algodClient.accountInformation(address).do();
const indexerAccountAssets = await indexerClient.lookupAccountAssets(address).do();
console.log("algod results: ", algodAccountAssets)
console.log("indexer results: ", indexerAccountAssets)
})();<script src="https://unpkg.com/algosdk@v1.18.1/dist/browser/algosdk.min.js"></script>
