account_currencies

command retrieves a list of currencies that an account can send or receive, based on its trust lines. (This is not a thoroughly confirmed list, but it can be used to populate user interfaces.)

Response Format
An example of a successful response:
{ "result": { "ledger_index": 11775844, "receive_currencies": [ "BTC", "CNY", "DYM", "EUR", "JOE", "MXN", "USD", "015841551A748AD2C1F76FF6ECB0CCCD00000000" ], "send_currencies": [ "ASP", "BTC", "CHF", "CNY", "DYM", "EUR", "JOE", "JPY", "MXN", "USD" ], "validated": true }, "status": "success", "type": "response" }
The response follows the standard format, with a successful result containing the following fields:
Field | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
ledger_hash | String - Hash | (May be omitted) The identifying hash of the ledger version used to retrieve this data, as hex. |
ledger_index | Integer - Ledger Index | The ledger index of the ledger version used to retrieve this data. |
receive_currencies | Array of Strings | Array of Currency Codes for currencies that this account can receive. |
send_currencies | Array of Strings | Array of Currency Codes for currencies that this account can send. |
validated | Boolean | If true , this data comes from a validated ledger. |
Note
The currencies that an account can send or receive are defined based on a check of its trust lines. If an account has a trust line for a currency and enough room to increase its balance, it can receive that currency. If the trust line's balance can go down, the account can send that currency. This method doesn't check whether the trust line is frozen or authorized.
