Streaming mode allows you to listen for new effects for this account as they are added to the Stellar ledger. If called in streaming mode, Horizon will start at the earliest known effect unless a cursor is set, in which case it will start from that cursor. By setting the cursor value to now, you can stream effects created since your request time. This endpoint returns the effects of a specific account and can be used in streaming mode. Streaming mode allows you to listen for new effects for this account as they are added to the Stellar ledger. If called in streaming mode, Horizon will start at the earliest known effect unless a cursor is set, in which case it will start from that cursor. By setting the cursor value to now, you can stream effects created since your request time.

Everything else in the ledger—assets, offers, trustlines, etc. are owned by accounts, and accounts must authorize all changes to the ledger through signed transactions. - name: Assets description: >- Assets are representations of value issued on the Stellar network. An asset consists of a type, code, and issuer. - name: Claimable Balances description: >- A Claimable Balance represents the transfer of ownership of some amount of an asset. Claimable balances provide a mechanism for setting up a payment which can be claimed in the future. This allows you to make payments to accounts which are currently not able to accept them. - name: Effects description: >- Effects represent specific changes that occur in the ledger as a result of successful operations, but are not necessarily directly reflected in the ledger or history, as transactions and operations are. - name: Fee Stats description: >- Fee stats are used to predict what fee to set for a transaction before submitting it to the network. - name: Liquidity Pools description: >- Liquidity Pools provide a simple, non-interactive way to trade large amounts of capital and enable high volumes of trading. - name: Ledgers description: >- Each ledger stores the state of the network at a point in time and contains all the changes - transactions, operations, effects, etc. - to that state. - name: Offers description: >- Offers are statements about how much of an asset an account wants to buy or sell. - name: Order Books description: An order book is a collections of offers for a specific pair of assets. - name: Trade Aggregations description: >- A trade aggregation represents aggregated statistics on an asset pair (base and counter) for a specific time period. Trade aggregations are useful to developers of trading clients and provide historical trade data. - name: Trades description: >- When an offer is fully or partially fulfilled, a trade happens. Trades can also be caused by successful path payments, because path payments involve fulfilling offers. A trade occurs between two parties—base and counter. Which is which is either arbitrary or determined by the calling query. - name: Transactions description: >- Transactions are commands that modify the ledger state and consist of one or more operations. paths: /accounts/{account_id}/effects: get: tags: - Accounts summary: Retrieve an Account's Effects description: >- This endpoint returns the effects of a specific account and can be used in streaming mode.
