ledger_data
The ledger_data
method retrieves contents of the specified ledger. You can iterate through several calls to retrieve the entire contents of a single ledger version.
Request Format
An example of the request format:
There is no commandline syntax for this method. You can use the json method to access this method from the commandline instead.
{ "id": 2, "ledger_hash": "842B57C1CC0613299A686D3E9F310EC0422C84D3911E5056389AA7E5808A93C8", "command": "ledger_data", "limit": 5, "binary": true }
A request can include the following fields:
Field | Type | Required? | Description |
---|---|---|---|
ledger_hash | Hash | No | A 20-byte hex string identifying the ledger version to use. |
ledger_index | Ledger Index | No | The ledger index of the ledger to use, or a shortcut string to choose a ledger automatically. (See Specifying Ledgers) |
binary | Boolean | No | If true , return ledger entries as hexadecimal strings instead of JSON. The default is false . |
limit | Number | No | Limit the number of ledger entries to retrieve. The server may return fewer than this number of entries. Cannot be more than 2048 (when requesting binary) or 256 (when requesting JSON). Positive values outside this range are replaced with the closest valid option. The default is the maximum. |
marker | Marker | No | Value from a previous paginated response. Resume retrieving data where that response left off. |
type | String | No | Filter results to a specific type of ledger entry. The valid types are: account , amendments , amm , check , deposit_preauth , directory , escrow , fee , hashes , nft_offer , offer , payment_channel , signer_list , state (trust line), and ticket . |
The ledger
field is deprecated and may be removed without further notice.

The response follows the standard format, with a successful result containing the following fields:
Field | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
ledger_index | Unsigned Integer - Ledger Index | The ledger index of this ledger version. |
ledger_hash | String - Hash | Unique identifying hash of this ledger version. |
state | Array | Array of JSON objects containing data from the ledger's state tree, as defined below. |
marker | Marker | Server-defined value indicating the response is paginated. Pass this to the next call to resume where this call left off. |
If a type
field is mentioned in the request, the state
array will be empty if the first set of array objects does not match the type requested. In such cases, you can use the marker
from this response to paginate and retrieve further data.
The format of each object in the state
array depends on whether binary
was set to true or not in the request. Each state
object may include the following fields:
Field | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
data | String | (Only included if "binary":true ) Hex representation of the requested data |
LedgerEntryType | String | (Only included if "binary":false ) String indicating what type of ledger object this object represents. See ledger object types for the full list. |
(Additional fields) | (Various) | (Only included if "binary":false ) Additional fields describing this object, depending on which ledger object type it is. |
index | String | Unique identifier for this ledger entry, as hex. |
