# ledgerService\_batchGetObjects - SUI

Returns multiple objects by ID in a single call. More efficient than calling `GetObject` repeatedly when fetching many objects — saves both round trips and per-call overhead. Each entry in the request may have its own `read_mask` for fine-grained field control.

**Service**: `sui.rpc.v2.LedgerService`\
**Proto file**: [`sui/rpc/v2/ledger_service.proto`](https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui-apis/blob/main/proto/sui/rpc/v2/ledger_service.proto)\
**Full method path**: `sui.rpc.v2.LedgerService/BatchGetObjects`

## Request Fields

| Field    | Type                      | Required | Description                                                                                                      |
| -------- | ------------------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| requests | repeated GetObjectRequest | Yes      | Array of `GetObjectRequest` entries, each with its own `object_id`, optional `version`, and optional `read_mask` |

## Response Example

Responses are encoded in Protocol Buffers binary format on the wire. The example below shows the protobuf JSON encoding for readability.

            "version": "67890",

## Response Fields

| Field                   | Type            | Description                                                                                     |
| ----------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| objects                 | repeated Object | Array of objects, one per request entry. Missing or errored entries are still returned in order |
| objects\[].object\_id   | ObjectId        | Object ID                                                                                       |
| objects\[].version      | string          | Object version                                                                                  |
| objects\[].object\_type | string          | Move type                                                                                       |

## Use Cases

* Bulk loading owned-objects pages in wallet UIs
* Indexer enrichment — fetching detailed object data after `ListOwnedObjects` returns IDs
* DEX backends loading multiple pool objects in one call

## Error Handling

gRPC uses status codes rather than JSON-RPC numeric error codes. The most relevant for this method:

| Status Code         | Numeric | Cause                                                                                 |
| ------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| UNAUTHENTICATED     | 16      | Missing or invalid `<ACCESS-TOKEN>` in the URL path                                   |
| INVALID\_ARGUMENT   | 3       | Request fields are missing, malformed, or fail validation                             |
| UNAVAILABLE         | 14      | Node is overloaded or temporarily unable to handle the request — retry with backoff   |
| DEADLINE\_EXCEEDED  | 4       | Request did not complete within the timeout window                                    |
| RESOURCE\_EXHAUSTED | 8       | Rate limit exceeded for your plan                                                     |
| INVALID\_ARGUMENT   | 3       | Empty `requests` list or too many requests in a single batch (provider-imposed limit) |

## SDK Integration

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="@mysten/sui (TypeScript)" %}

```typescript
// The Mysten Labs TypeScript SDK provides higher-level wrappers around the
// gRPC API. Use @mysten/sui for typed client access:

import { SuiClient } from '@mysten/sui/client';

const client = new SuiClient({
    url: 'https://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/'
});

// Refer to the @mysten/sui API reference for the typed wrapper of this method;
// raw gRPC call to sui.rpc.v2.LedgerService/BatchGetObjects is available as shown in the
// Request Example tabs above.
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="pysui (Python)" %}

```python
# pysui is the community-maintained Python SDK for Sui (Mysten Labs does not
# yet publish an official Python SDK). For raw gRPC access, use grpcio with
# the generated proto stubs as shown in the Request Example tabs above.

from pysui import SuiConfig, SyncClient

config = SuiConfig.user_config(
    rpc_url='https://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/'
