## Use Cases

* Retrieve account balance and locked tokens for wallets or dApps.
* Verify if an account has a deployed contract (via `code_hash`).
* Monitor storage usage and costs for on-chain applications.
* Validate account state before performing transfers or contract calls.

## Code Example

**Node(Axios)**

```js
import axios from "axios";
let data = JSON.stringify({
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "query",
  "params": {
    "request_type": "view_account",
    "finality": "final",
    "account_id": "staked.poolv1.near",
    "method_name": "get_num"
  },
  "id": "getblock.io"
});

let config = {
  method: 'post',
  maxBodyLength: Infinity,
  url: 'https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS_TOKEN>',
  headers: { 
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  data : data
};

axios.request(config)
.then((response) => {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
})
.catch((error) => {
  console.log(error);
});
```

**Python(Requests)**

```python
import requests
import json
url = "https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS_TOKEN>"
payload = json.dumps({
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "query",
  "params": {
    "request_type": "view_account",
    "finality": "final",
    "account_id": "staked.poolv1.near",
    "method_name": "get_num"
  },
  "id": "getblock.io"
})
headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)
```

## Error Handling

| **HTTP Code**                 | **Error Message**     | **Description**                                                             |
| ----------------------------- | --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **404 Not Found**             | `HANDLER_ERROR`       | The specified account does not exist on the network or is incorrect         |
| **500 Internal Server Error** | `Node error`          | Node failed to process the query or returned invalid data or network issues |
| **403 Service Forbidden**     | `RBAC: access denied` | The Getblock access token is missing or not correct                         |

## Integration with Web3

By integrating `query (view_account)` into dApp, developers can:

* Build **wallets** and **portfolio trackers** showing real-time balances.
* Pre-validate **account existence** before sending transactions.
* Fetch **read-only on-chain data** without consuming gas.
