Account Info

queryactivefree

Retrieve account information for any XRPL address: XRP balance, sequence number, owner count, and flags.

What

Shows the basics of any XRPL account: how much XRP it holds, its sequence number (a counter that goes up with each transaction it sends), and its settings.

Why you'd use it

This is the first thing to check before doing anything else — does the account exist, is it funded, and what flags are turned on? It works on any address, not just yours.

How

Paste any XRPL address (starts with r) into Account Address.
Leave Ledger Index on validated — that means final, confirmed data.
Run it and read account_data: Balance is in drops (1 XRP = 1,000,000 drops), so 25000000 means 25 XRP.
Note OwnerCount — each owned object locks 0.2 XRP of the balance as reserve.

Watch out

Balance is shown in drops, not XRP. Divide by 1,000,000.
An address that has never received at least the base reserve (1 XRP) does not exist yet — you will get an actNotFound error, which is normal, not broken.
Not all of the balance is spendable: the base reserve plus owner reserves are locked.

For example

Before sending 50 XRP to a new business partner, you paste their address here first. The account exists and is funded — so your payment will not fail with a 'destination does not exist' error.
