Path parameters

address*Address (string (hex))

A hex encoded 32 byte Aptos account address.

This is represented in a string as a 64 character hex string, sometimes shortened by stripping leading 0s, and adding a 0x.

For example, address 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 is represented as 0x1.

Example: "0x88fbd33f54e1126269769780feb24480428179f552e2313fbe571b72e62a1ca1 "

Headers

Body

application/jsonapplication/x-bcs

sequence_number*U64 (string (uint64))

A string containing a 64-bit unsigned integer.

We represent u64 values as a string to ensure compatibility with languages such as JavaScript that do not parse u64s in JSON natively.

Example: "32425224034"

authentication_key*HexEncodedBytes (string (hex))

All bytes (Vec) data is represented as hex-encoded string prefixed with 0x and fulfilled with two hex digits per byte.

Unlike the Address type, HexEncodedBytes will not trim any zeros.

Example: "0x88fbd33f54e1126269769780feb24480428179f552e2313fbe571b72e62a1ca1 "
