# Get Table Rows

In the example shown below, the xtokens smart contract's table accounts is queried with the scope testacc. The data is returned as json, in-order, and limited to 10 rows. The RAM payer for the returned row is also not shown.

await protonApi.rpc.get_table_rows({
  json: true,
  code: 'xtokens',
  scope: 'testacc',
  table: 'accounts',
  limit: 10,
  reverse: false,
  show_payer: false
})

An example of an expected response is shown below.

{
  rows: [ { balance: '200.000000 XUSDC' }, { balance: '50.00000000 XBTC' } ],
  more: false
}

The following is a list of acceptable arguments:

Argument Type Required Description
json boolean false Get the response as json
code string true Contract that we target
scope string true Account that owns the data
table string true Table name
lower_bound any false Lower limit for key value
upper_bound any false Upper limit for key value
index_position number false Table index (1: primary, 2: secondary)
key_type any false Table key type
limit number false Maximum number of rows that we want to get
reverse boolean false Get reversed data
show_payer boolean false Show ram payer

# Query By Index

A lower_bound parameter can also be passed to the get_table_rows method. This parameter allows you to query for a particular value of the primary key in the table. Using this in conjunction with limit: 1 allows you to query for 1 row of a table.

@table("profiles")
export class Profiles extends Table {
    constructor (
       public user: Name = new Name(),
       public age: u64 = 0,
       public surname: Name = new Name(),
    ) {
        super();
    }

    @primary
    get primary(): u64 {
        return this.user.N;
    }
}

In the example shown below, the contract smart contract's table profiles is queried with the scope contract for the row with primary key testacc. The limit is 1 which implies that only 1 row with value testacc will be returned.

await protonApi.rpc.get_table_rows({
  json: true,
  code: 'contract',
  scope: 'contract',
  table: 'profiles',
  lower_bound: 'testacc',
  limit: 1,
  reverse: false,
  show_payer: false,
})

An example of an expected response is shown below.

{
  "rows": [{
      "user": "testacc",
      "age": 21,
      "surname": "Martin"
    }
  ],
  "more": false
}

# Query By Secondary Index

The lower_bound parameter can be used in conjunction with the index_position parameter to query an index different from the primary key.

@table("profiles")
export class Profiles extends Table {
    constructor (
       public user: Name = new Name(),
       public age: u64 = 0,
       public surname: Name = new Name(),
    ) {
        super();
    }

    @primary
    get primary(): u64 {
        return this.user.N;
    }

    @secondary
    get byAge(): u64 {
        return this.age;
    }

    set byAge(value: u64) {
        this.age = value;
    }

    @secondary
    get bySurname(): u64 {
        return this.surname.N;
    }

    set bySurname(value: u64) {
        this.surname.N = value;
    }
}

In the example shown below, the contract smart contract's table profiles is queried with the scope contract for the rows with secondary index age equal to 21. The limit is 1 which implies that only 1 row with the age 21 will be returned.

await protonApi.rpc.get_table_rows({
  json: true,
  code: 'contract',
  scope: 'contract',
  table: 'profiles',
  index_position: 2,
  lower_bound: 21,
  limit: 1,
  reverse: false,
  show_payer: false,
})
