account_channels

[Source]

(Added by the PayChan amendment. New in: rippled 0.33.0 )

The account_channels method returns information about an account's Payment Channels. This includes only channels where the specified account is the channel's source, not the destination. (A channel's "source" and "owner" are the same.) All information retrieved is relative to a particular version of the ledger.

The response follows the standard format, with a successful result containing the following fields:

Field Type Description
account String The address of the source/owner of the payment channels. This corresponds to the account field of the request.
channels Array of Channel Objects Payment channels owned by this account. Updated in: rippled 1.5.0
ledger_hash String (May be omitted) The identifying Hash of the ledger version used to generate this response. New in: rippled 0.90.0
ledger_index Number The Ledger Index of the ledger version used to generate this response. New in: rippled 0.90.0
validated Boolean (May be omitted) If true, the information in this response comes from a validated ledger version. Otherwise, the information is subject to change. New in: rippled 0.90.0
limit Number (May be omitted) The limit to how many channel objects were actually returned by this request.
marker Marker (May be omitted) Server-defined value for pagination. Pass this to the next call to resume getting results where this call left off. Omitted when there are no additional pages after this one.

Each Channel Object has the following fields:

Field Type Description
account String The owner of the channel, as an Address.
amount String The total amount of XRP, in drops allocated to this channel.
balance String The total amount of XRP, in drops, paid out from this channel, as of the ledger version used. (You can calculate the amount of XRP left in the channel by subtracting balance from amount.)
channel_id String A unique ID for this channel, as a 64-character hexadecimal string. This is also the ID of the channel object in the ledger's state data.
destination_account String The destination account of the channel, as an Address. Only this account can receive the XRP in the channel while it is open.
settle_delay Unsigned Integer The number of seconds the payment channel must stay open after the owner of the channel requests to close it.
public_key String (May be omitted) The public key for the payment channel in the XRP Ledger's base58 format. Signed claims against this channel must be redeemed with the matching key pair.
public_key_hex String (May be omitted) The public key for the payment channel in hexadecimal format, if one was specified at channel creation. Signed claims against this channel must be redeemed with the matching key pair.
expiration Unsigned Integer (May be omitted) Time, in seconds since the Ripple Epoch, when this channel is set to expire. This expiration date is mutable. If this is before the close time of the most recent validated ledger, the channel is expired.
cancel_after Unsigned Integer (May be omitted) Time, in seconds since the Ripple Epoch, of this channel's immutable expiration, if one was specified at channel creation. If this is before the close time of the most recent validated ledger, the channel is expired.
source_tag Unsigned Integer (May be omitted) A 32-bit unsigned integer to use as a source tag for payments through this payment channel, if one was specified at channel creation. This indicates the payment channel's originator or other purpose at the source account. Conventionally, if you bounce payments from this channel, you should specify this value in the DestinationTag of the return payment.
destination_tag Unsigned Integer (May be omitted) A 32-bit unsigned integer to use as a destination tag for payments through this channel, if one was specified at channel creation. This indicates the payment channel's beneficiary or other purpose at the destination account.
