StateService/ListOwnedObjects - SUI

Example code for the StateService/ListOwnedObjects gRPC method. Complete guide on how to use StateService/ListOwnedObjects gRPC method in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

Returns objects owned by an address. Paginated; an optional object_type filter narrows the result to a specific Move type (e.g. all NFTs of a given collection).

Response Example

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

{
    "objects": [
        {
            "object_id": "0xc8ec1d6e3a7e9d2f5a8c3e7b1d4f9a6c2e5b8d3f7a1c4e9b2d4f6a8c0e2f4b6d",
            "version": "12345",
            "object_type": "0x2::coin::Coin<0x2::sui::SUI>"
        },
        {
            "object_id": "0x2222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222",
            "version": "12346",
            "object_type": "0x2::coin::Coin<0x2::sui::SUI>"
        }
    ],
    "next_page_token": "cGFnZTI="
}

Response Fields

Field	Type	Description
objects	repeated Object	Objects owned by the address
objects[].object_id	ObjectId	Object ID
objects[].version	string	Object version
objects[].object_type	string	Move type
next_page_token	string	Pagination cursor; empty when no more pages

Use Cases

• Wallet UIs enumerating all coins, NFTs, and Move objects owned by a user

• DEX wallets fetching all coin objects of a specific type before constructing a swap

• NFT galleries filtering by collection (via object_type)

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

SDK Integration

@mysten/sui (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://go.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.StateService/ListOwnedObjects is available as shown in the
// Request Example tabs above.

pysui (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://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/'
)
client = SyncClient(config)

# Consult pysui docs for the wrapper of StateService.ListOwnedObjects.
