The request can contain the following parameters:

Field Type Description
ledger_hash String (Optional) A 20-byte hex string for the ledger version to use. (See Specifying Ledgers).
ledger_index String or Unsigned Integer (Optional) The ledger index of the ledger to use, or a shortcut string to choose a ledger automatically. (See Specifying Ledgers)
full Boolean (Optional) Admin required If true, return full information on the entire ledger. Ignored if you did not specify a ledger version. Defaults to false. (Equivalent to enabling transactions, accounts, and expand.) Caution: This is a very large amount of data -- on the order of several hundred megabytes!
accounts Boolean (Optional) Admin required. If true, return information on accounts in the ledger. Ignored if you did not specify a ledger version. Defaults to false. Caution: This returns a very large amount of data!
transactions Boolean (Optional) If true, return information on transactions in the specified ledger version. Defaults to false. Ignored if you did not specify a ledger version.
expand Boolean (Optional) Provide full JSON-formatted information for transaction/account information instead of only hashes. Defaults to false. Ignored unless you request transactions, accounts, or both.
owner_funds Boolean (Optional) If true, include owner_funds field in the metadata of OfferCreate transactions in the response. Defaults to false. Ignored unless transactions are included and expand is true.
binary Boolean (Optional) If true, and transactions and expand are both also true, return transaction information in binary format (hexadecimal string) instead of JSON format. New in: rippled 0.28.0
queue Boolean (Optional) If true, and the command is requesting the current ledger, includes an array of queued transactions in the results.

The ledger field is deprecated and may be removed without further notice.

The response follows the standard format, with a successful result containing information about the ledger, including the following fields:

Field Type Description
ledger Object The complete header data of this ledger.
ledger.account_hash String Hash of all account state information in this ledger, as hex
ledger.accountState Array (Omitted unless requested) All the account-state information in this ledger.
ledger.close_flags Integer A bit-map of flags relating to the closing of this ledger. Currently, the ledger has only one flag defined for close_flags: sLCF_NoConsensusTime (value 1). If this flag is enabled, it means that validators were in conflict regarding the correct close time for the ledger, but build otherwise the same ledger, so they declared consensus while "agreeing to disagree" on the close time. In this case, the consensus ledger contains a close_time that is 1 second after that of the previous ledger. (In this case, there is no official close time, but the actual real-world close time is probably 3-6 seconds later than the specified close_time.)
ledger.close_time Integer The time this ledger was closed, in seconds since the Ripple Epoch
ledger.close_time_human String The time this ledger was closed, in human-readable format. Always uses the UTC time zone. Updated in: rippled 1.5.0
ledger.close_time_resolution Integer Ledger close times are rounded to within this many seconds.
ledger.closed Boolean Whether or not this ledger has been closed
ledger.ledger_hash String Unique identifying hash of the entire ledger.
ledger.ledger_index String The Ledger Index of this ledger, as a quoted integer
ledger.parent_close_time Integer The time at which the previous ledger was closed.
ledger.parent_hash String Unique identifying hash of the ledger that came immediately before this one.
ledger.total_coins String Total number of XRP drops in the network, as a quoted integer. (This decreases as transaction costs destroy XRP.)
ledger.transaction_hash String Hash of the transaction information included in this ledger, as hex
ledger.transactions Array (Omitted unless requested) Transactions applied in this ledger version. By default, members are the transactions' identifying Hash strings. If the request specified expand as true, members are full representations of the transactions instead, in either JSON or binary depending on whether the request specified binary as true.
ledger_hash String Unique identifying hash of the entire ledger.
ledger_index Number The Ledger Index of this ledger.
queue_data Array (Omitted unless requested with the queue parameter) Array of objects describing queued transactions, in the same order as the queue. If the request specified expand as true, members contain full representations of the transactions, in either JSON or binary depending on whether the request specified binary as true. Added by the FeeEscalation amendment. New in: rippled 0.70.0

The following fields are deprecated and may be removed without further notice: accepted, hash (use ledger_hash instead), seqNum (use ledger_index instead), totalCoins (use total_coins instead).

Each member of the queue_data array represents one transaction in the queue. Some fields of this object may be omitted because they have not yet been calculated. The fields of this object are as follows:

Field Value Description
account String The Address of the sender for this queued transaction.
tx String or Object By default, this is a String containing the identifying hash of the transaction. If transactions are expanded in binary format, this is an object whose only field is tx_blob, containing the binary form of the transaction as a decimal string. If transactions are expanded in JSON format, this is an object containing the transaction object including the transaction's identifying hash in the hash field.
retries_remaining Number How many times this transaction can be retried before being dropped.
preflight_result String The tentative result from preliminary transaction checking. This is always tesSUCCESS.
last_result String (May be omitted) If this transaction was left in the queue after getting a retriable (ter) result, this is the exact ter result code it got.
auth_change Boolean (May be omitted) Whether this transaction changes this address's ways of authorizing transactions.
fee String (May be omitted) The Transaction Cost of this transaction, in drops of XRP.
fee_level String (May be omitted) The transaction cost of this transaction, relative to the minimum cost for this type of transaction, in fee levels.
max_spend_drops String (May be omitted) The maximum amount of XRP, in drops, this transaction could potentially send or destroy.

If the request specified "owner_funds": true and expanded transactions, the response has a field owner_funds in the metaData object of each OfferCreate transaction. The purpose of this field is to make it easier to track the funding status of offers with each new validated ledger. This field is defined slightly differently than the version of this field in Order Book subscription streams:

Field Value Description
owner_funds String Numeric amount of the TakerGets currency that the Account sending this OfferCreate transaction has after the execution of all transactions in this ledger. This does not check whether the currency amount is frozen.

Possible Errors

  • Any of the universal error types.
  • invalidParams - One or more fields are specified incorrectly, or one or more required fields are missing.
  • 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.
  • noPermission - If you specified full or accounts as true, but are not connected to the server as an admin (usually, admin requires connecting on a local port).
