# getAccountInfo - Solana

This method returns the current state of an account, including its lamport balance, owning program, data payload, and rent epoch. This is the primary method for reading on-chain account data such as token mints, PDAs, and program-owned state.

| pubkey    | string | Yes      | Base58-encoded Pubkey of the account to query            |
| config    | object | No       | Configuration object controlling encoding and commitment |

| -------------- | ------ | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| encoding       | string | No       | Data encoding: base58, base64, base64+zstd, or jsonParsed                   |
| commitment     | string | No       | Commitment level: processed, confirmed, or finalized. Defaults to finalized |
| dataSlice      | object | No       | Byte range to return, with offset and length fields                         |
| minContextSlot | number | No       | Minimum slot the request can be evaluated at                                |
