# account_currencies

[[Source]](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/blob/master/src/xrpld/rpc/handlers/AccountCurrenciesHandler.cpp)

The `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.)

## Request Format

An example of the request format:

WebSocket

```json
{
    "command": "account_currencies",
    "account": "r9cZA1mLK5R5Am25ArfXFmqgNwjZgnfk59",
    "ledger_index": "validated"
}
```

JSON-RPC

```json
{
    "method": "account_currencies",
    "params": [
        {
            "account": "r9cZA1mLK5R5Am25ArfXFmqgNwjZgnfk59",
            "account_index": 0,
            "ledger_index": "validated"
        }
    ]
}
```

Commandline

```sh
#Syntax: account_currencies account [ledger_index|ledger_hash]
rippled account_currencies rG1QQv2nh2gr7RCZ1P8YYcBUKCCN633jCn validated
```

The request includes the following parameters:

| `Field` | Type | Required? | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `account` | String - [Address](/docs/references/protocol/data-types/basic-data-types#addresses) | Yes | Look up currencies this account can send or receive. Updated in: rippled 1.11.0 |
| `ledger_hash` | String | No | The unique hash of the ledger version to use. (See [Specifying Ledgers](/docs/references/protocol/data-types/basic-data-types#specifying-ledgers)) |
| `ledger_index` | Number or String | No | The [ledger index](/docs/references/protocol/data-types/basic-data-types#ledger-index) of the ledger to use, or a shortcut string to choose a ledger automatically. (See [Specifying Ledgers](/docs/references/protocol/data-types/basic-data-types#specifying-ledgers)) |


The following fields are deprecated and should not be provided: `account_index`, `strict`.

      "status" : "success",
      "validated" : true
   }
}
```

The response follows the [standard format](/docs/references/http-websocket-apis/api-conventions/response-formatting), with a successful result containing the following fields:

| `Field` | Type | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
| `ledger_hash` | String - [Hash](/docs/references/protocol/data-types/basic-data-types#hashes) | (May be omitted) The identifying hash of the ledger version used to retrieve this data, as hex. |
| `ledger_index` | Integer - [Ledger Index](/docs/references/protocol/data-types/basic-data-types#ledger-index) | The ledger index of the ledger version used to retrieve this data. |
| `receive_currencies` | Array of Strings | Array of [Currency Code](/docs/references/protocol/data-types/currency-formats#currency-codes)s for currencies that this account can receive. |
| `send_currencies` | Array of Strings | Array of [Currency Code](/docs/references/protocol/data-types/currency-formats#currency-codes)s for currencies that this account can send. |
| `validated` | Boolean | If `true`, this data comes from a validated ledger. |


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](/es-es/docs/concepts/tokens/fungible-tokens/freezes) or authorized.

## Possible Errors

* Any of the [universal error types](/docs/references/http-websocket-apis/api-conventions/error-formatting#universal-errors).
* `invalidParams` - One or more fields are specified incorrectly, or one or more required fields are missing.
* `actNotFound` - The address specified in the `account` field of the request does not correspond to an account in the ledger.
* `lgrNotFound` - The ledger specified by the `ledger_hash` or `ledger_index` does not exist, or it does exist but the server does not have it.
