Queries
Queries are requests that do not require network consensus. Queries are processed only by the single node the request is sent to. Below is a list of network queries by service.
Cryptocurrency Accounts | Consensus | Tokens | File Service | Smart Contracts |
​AccountBalanceQuery​ | ​TopicInfoQuery​ | ​TokenBalanceQuery​ | ​FileContentsQuery​ | ​ContractCallQuery​ |
​AccountInfoQuery​ | ​TopicMessageQuery​ | ​TokenInfoQuery​ | ​FileInfoQuery​ | ​ContractByteCodeQuery​ |
A query that returns the cost of a query prior to submitting the query to network node for processing. If the cost of the query greater than the default max query payment (1 hbar) you can use setMaxQueryPayment(<hbar>) to change the default.
Method | Type | Description |
| Client | Get the cost of the query in Hbar |
| Client, Duration | The max length of time the sdk will attempt to retry for in the event of repeated busy responses from node(s) |
| Client | Get the cost of a query asynchronously |
