The runGetMethod method executes a get method on a smart contract in the TON blockchain. This method allows you to retrieve data from smart contracts without modifying their state.

​

Request Body

• address (string, required) — The address of the smart contract to interact with. Example: EQCxE6mUtQJKFnGfaROTKOt1lZbDiiX1kCixRv7Nw2Id_sDs.
• method (string, required) — The name of the get method to execute. Example: get_wallet_address.
• stack (array, optional) — An array of arguments to pass to the method, if any. Default is an empty array.
• seqno (int, optional) — the Masterchain seqno. You can get the Masterchain seqno with getMasterchainInfo | TON v2.

​

Response

• exit_code (integer) — The exit code of the method execution. A value of 0 typically indicates successful execution.

• stack (array of objects) — The resulting stack after method execution. Each object in the array represents a stack item and contains:

  • type (string) — The type of the stack item.
  • value (string) — The value of the stack item.

• gas_used (integer) — The amount of gas used for the execution.

​

Use case

A possible use case for the runGetMethod method in TON is for applications or services that need to interact with smart contracts to retrieve data. This method can be used to:

1. Fetch the current state or data from a smart contract.
2. Implement read operations for decentralized applications (dApps).
3. Query token balances, metadata, or other contract-specific information.
4. Debug or test smart contract functionality without modifying the blockchain state.

Here’s another with a get_jetton_data method:

curl -X 'POST' \

  "method": "get_jetton_data",
  "stack": []}'
