# eth_getProof

Returns the account and storage values of the specified account including the Merkle-proof.

This method will use `40` [Compute Units](/nodeapi/about/billing).

***

## **Parameters**

1. `address`- String - The address of the account for which the balance is to be checked.
2. `storageKeys` - Array\[Strings] - An array of storage-keys that should be proofed and included.
3. `blockNumber` - String -  The block number as a string in hexadecimal format or the string `"latest"`, `"earliest"` or `"pending"`, see the [default block parameter](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/apis/json-rpc/#default-block-parameter).

## Returns

* `address` - The address associated with the account.
* `accountProof` - An array of rlp-serialized MerkleTree-Nodes which starts with the stateRoot-Node and follows the path of the SHA3 address as key.
* `balance` - The current balance of the account in wei.
* `codeHash` - A 32 byte hash of the code of the account.
* `nonce` - The hash of the generated proof-of-work. Null if pending.
* `storageHash` - A 32 byte SHA3 of the storageRoot. All storage will deliver a MerkleProof starting with this rootHash.
* `storageProof` - An array of storage-entries as requested. Each entry is an object with the following fields:
  * `key` - The requested storage key.
  * `value` - The storage value.
  * `proof` - An array of rlp-serialized MerkleTree-Nodes which starts with the stateRoot-Node and follows the path of the SHA3 address as key.
