# stx\_getAccounts

Requests the user's Stacks account information from the connected wallet. This includes addresses, public keys, and Gaia Hub connection details.

***

### Usage

```ts
import { request } from '@stacks/connect';

const result = await request('stx_getAccounts', {
  network: 'mainnet',
});

for (const account of result.accounts) {
  console.log(`Address: ${account.address}`);
  console.log(`Public Key: ${account.publicKey}`);
  console.log(`Gaia Hub URL: ${account.gaiaHubUrl}`);
  console.log(`Gaia App Key: ${account.gaiaAppKey}`);
}
```

#### Notes

* Unlike [`stx_getAddresses`](https://docs.stacks.co/reference/stacks.js/stacks-connect/methods/stx_getaddresses), this method also returns Gaia Hub information (`gaiaHubUrl` and `gaiaAppKey`), which is needed for decentralized storage operations.
* Not all wallets may support this method. Check wallet documentation for compatibility.
