Answers what is behind an address. Key addresses come back as ed25519, secp256k1, secp256r1, passkey, zklogin (issuer, address seed, key id) or multisig (every member with scheme, public key, address and weight, plus the threshold). Object ids come back as object or package, and an address that never signed comes back as unknown. The kind is read from the signature of the latest transaction the address signed, so details need at least one signed transaction. The result also lists, for each regulated coin the address holds, whether the address is on the deny list this epoch and next epoch. Accepts a 0x address, a name.sui or an @name.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
addressrequired	string	Address or object id (0x...), a name.sui or an @name.

Request

Send your key in the x-api-key header, or leave it out to use the keyless tier.
