# getlibraries - TON

Example code for the getlibraries JSON-RPC method. Сomplete guide on how to use getlibraries JSON-RPC in GetBlock.io Web3 documentation.

This method returns library code by their hashes. TON smart contracts can reference shared library code by hash; this method retrieves those library cells.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type            | Required | Description                                     |
| --------- | --------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| libraries | array of string | No       | Array of 256-bit library hashes (base64 or hex) |

## SDK Integration

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="@ton/ton (JavaScript)" %}

```javascript
import { TonClient } from '@ton/ton';

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

// The @ton/ton client wraps the same JSON-RPC methods.
// For low-level access, use client.callGetMethod or client.provider.
```

{% endtab %}

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

```python
from pytoniq import LiteClient
# For HTTP API access, use ton-http-client or call the JSON-RPC
# endpoint directly with requests as shown in the Request Example.
```
