# getSignaturesForAddress

Returns confirmed signatures for transactions involving an address backwards in time from the provided signature or most recent confirmed block.

This method will use `30` [Compute Units](/v1/about/billing.md).

***

## **Parameters**

* `account_address` string *<mark style="color:red;">Required</mark>.* The account address encoded as base-58 string.
* `object` *optional.* Configuration object containing the following fields:
  * `limit` integer. The maximum number of transaction signatures to return (between 1 and 1000). The default value is 1000.
  * `before` string. Start searching backward from this transaction signature. If not provided, the search starts from the top of the highest max confirmed block.
  * `until` string. Searches until this transaction signature, if found before limit reached.
  * `commitment` string. The level of commitment required for the query. The options include:
    * `finalized` string.
      * The node will query the most recent block confirmed by the supermajority of the cluster as having reached maximum lockout, meaning the cluster has recognized this block as finalized.
    * `confirmed` string.
      * The node will query the most recent block that has been voted on by the supermajority of the cluster.
    * `processed` string.
      * The node will query its most recent block. Note that the block may not be complete.
  * `minContextSlot` integer. The minimum slot at which the request can be evaluated.

## Returns

`result` A JSON object with the following fields:

* `blockTime` The estimated production time, as Unix timestamp (seconds since the Unix epoch). Null if not available.
* `confirmationStatus` The transaction's cluster confirmation status. The status can either be processed, confirmed, or finalized.
* `err` Error code if the transaction failed or null if the transaction succeeds.
* `memo` The memo associated with the transaction and null if no memo is present.
* `signature` The base58-encoded signature of the transaction.
* `slot` The slot number in which the transaction was confirmed.
