getMultipleAccounts

The getMultipleAccounts method returns the account information for multiple accounts simultaneously. This is an optimized version of getAccountInfo that allows fetching data for many accounts in a single RPC call, significantly improving performance for applications that need to query multiple accounts.

Fetching multiple accounts individually would require multiple round-trips to the RPC server, introducing latency and consuming more resources. This method batches account queries into a single request, making it essential for efficient data retrieval. Common use cases include loading portfolio data (multiple token accounts), fetching related program accounts, or retrieving data for a set of NFTs. The method maintains the same flexibility as getAccountInfo for encoding, commitment, and data slicing.

This method is crucial for building responsive user interfaces, efficient data indexers, and any application that needs to display information about multiple accounts simultaneously. Most Solana wallets, DEXes, and NFT platforms rely heavily on this method to minimize latency and provide smooth user experiences. The method preserves the order of requested accounts in the response.

Parameters

parameter	type	description

Response

Tip: Maximum 100 accounts per request. The response array matches the request order, with null for non-existent accounts. Use jsonParsed encoding for token accounts to get automatically parsed data. For large batches, split into multiple requests to avoid timeout issues.
