getTokenAccountsByDelegate

Last updated:

`getTokenAccountsByDelegate` returns every SPL Token account whose delegate authority has been set to the public key you provide. When a token-account owner calls `approve`, they grant a delegate the right to transfer up to a fixed amount on their behalf; this method enumerates all accounts that have named a particular delegate.

You must narrow the query with exactly one filter — either a specific `mint` (only accounts of that token) or a `programId` (all accounts owned by that token program, typically the SPL Token or Token-2022 program). The result is a positional `value` array of `{ pubkey, account }` pairs read at a single slot, so the set is internally consistent.

Use `jsonParsed` encoding to get a decoded token-account object (mint, owner, delegate, token amount) instead of raw bytes — this is usually what you want for displaying delegated balances. This is the delegate-keyed counterpart of [`getTokenAccountsByOwner`](./getTokenAccountsByOwner.md), which keys by the account owner instead.
