# `eth_getProof`

Returns the account and storage values, including the Merkle proof, of the specified account. This method uses [150 credits](/services/get-started/pricing/) from your daily balance.

For Growth and Custom service plans

This JSON-RPC method allows a request to be forwarded to a partner service provider if Infura should experience a service issue or outage. See [Failover protection](/services/concepts/failover-protection/)and [Enable API request forwarding](/services/how-to/enable-api-forwarding/)for complete details.

If you would like failover protection but don't qualify under your current plan, then either self-upgrade to the Growth plan or contact a sales representative to upgrade to a Custom plan.

## Parameters[​](#parameters "Direct link to Parameters")

- `address`: A string representing the address (20 bytes) to check for balance.
- `storageKeys`: An array of 32-byte storage keys to be proofed and included.
- `blockParameter`: A hexadecimal block number, or one of the string tags `latest`, `earliest`, `pending`, `safe`, or `finalized`. See the [default block parameter](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/apis/json-rpc/#default-block).

## Returns[​](#returns "Direct link to Returns")

- `balance`: Hexadecimal of the current balance in wei.
- `codeHash`: The 32-byte hash of the code of the account.
- `nonce`: The nonce of the account.
- `storageHash`: 32 bytes. The SHA3 of the StorageRoot. All storage will deliver a Merkle proof starting with this `rootHash`.
- `accountProof`: An array of RLP-serialized MerkleTree-Nodes, starting with the stateRoot-Node, following the path of the SHA3 (address) as key.
- `storageProof`: An array of storage-entries as requested. Each entry is an object with these properties:  
  - `key`: The requested storage key.
  - `value`: The storage value.
  - `proof`: An array of RLP-serialized MerkleTree-Nodes, starting with the storageHash-Node, following the path of the SHA3 (key) as path.
