delegateInfo_getDelegated - Bittensor

Example code for the delegateInfo_getDelegated JSON-RPC method. Complete guide on how to use delegateInfo_getDelegated JSON-RPC in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

Returns all delegations made by a given coldkey — the inverse of delegateInfo_getDelegate. Shows which delegates a particular TAO holder has staked to and how much.

Bittensor-specific custom RPC method. This method is implemented by the Subtensor runtime and is not part of the standard Substrate JSON-RPC surface. Call against a GetBlock endpoint configured for the Substrate interface. The Bittensor Python SDK provides typed wrappers; standard Polkadot.js and substrateinterface require the raw RPC interface (see SDK Integration tabs below).

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
coldkey	string	Yes	SS58-encoded coldkey to look up delegations for
blockHash	string	No	Block hash to query at

Response Parameters

Field	Type	Description
result	array	Array of [delegate_info, stake_amount] pairs
result[][0]	object	Delegate info (same shape as delegateInfo_getDelegate)
result[][1]	string	Amount staked to this delegate in rao

Use Cases

• Portfolio views — show all delegations for a connected wallet

• Computing total staked TAO across all delegates for a coldkey

• Detecting overconcentration in a single delegate (diversification UI hints)

Error Handling

Status Code	Error Message	Cause
403	Forbidden	Missing or invalid <ACCESS-TOKEN>
-32602	Invalid params	Request parameters are missing or malformed
-32601	Method not found	Method does not exist on this interface — check whether you're calling a Substrate method on an EVM endpoint or vice versa
-32603	Internal error	Server-side error while processing the request
429	Too Many Requests	Rate limit exceeded for your plan

SDK Integration

Bittensor SDK (Python)

import bittensor as bt

# Bittensor SDK provides typed wrappers for chain-specific data.
# The subtensor client routes to the appropriate custom RPC under the hood:
subtensor = bt.subtensor(network="finney")  # or pass GetBlock URL

# Example for subnetInfo_getSubnetInfo:
# subnet_info = subtensor.get_subnet_info(netuid=1)
# print(subnet_info)

# Or use the raw RPC interface for any custom method:
result = subtensor.substrate.rpc_request("delegateInfo_getDelegated", ["5Hp1q5K7T8QYsxwBwYjqkZ1QzGqgYqU3pwMwYqDdjjEqLqJk"])
print(result)

Polkadot.js raw (TypeScript)

import { ApiPromise, WsProvider } from '@polkadot/api';

const provider = new WsProvider('wss://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/');
const api = await ApiPromise.create({ provider });

// Bittensor-specific RPCs need the raw send() interface
// (they aren't part of standard Polkadot.js typed wrappers):
const result = await api.rpc.send({
    method: 'delegateInfo_getDelegated',
    params: ["5Hp1q5K7T8QYsxwBwYjqkZ1QzGqgYqU3pwMwYqDdjjEqLqJk"]
});
console.log(result);
