Look Up On-Chain Account Info Using Aptos CLI

ℹ️

You can install the Aptos CLI by following these steps if you have not done so already.

You can look up resources and data an account has on-chain by running the following command:

Terminal

aptos account list --account <your-profile-name-or-account-address>

This will show all resources that an account has. For example, below shows the balance as coin:value, and the associated coin for the native gas token APT would be 0x1::aptos_coin::AptosCoin. This is represented in subdivisions, so in this case it’s 10^-8 or 8 zeros of decimal points.

Output

{
  "Result": [
    {
      "coin": {
        "value": "110000"
      },
      "deposit_events": {
        "counter": "3",
        "guid": {
          "id": {
            "addr": "0xf1f20ddd0b0dd2291b6e42c97274668c479bca70f07c6b6a80b99720779696",
            "creation_num": "2"
          }
        }
      },
      "frozen": false,
      "withdraw_events": {
        "counter": "0",
        "guid": {
          "id": {
            "addr": "0xf1f20ddd0b0dd2291b6e42c97274668c479bca70f07c6b6a80b99720779696",
            "creation_num": "3"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

If you’re interested in a specific type of account data, you can specify that with the --query parameter. The supported queries are:

balance - to see the current balance and a list of deposit and withdrawal events.
modules - see the Move contracts that are published on this account.
resources - this is what the default command does with no query specified.

Here’s an example of what calling with the --query modules parameter looks like:

Terminal

aptos account list --query modules

This will show all modules that an account has. For example:
