  }
]

• mintAddress: The SPL token mint for which to retrieve largest token accounts.

📦 Response Structure

The result is an array of up to 20 token account objects:

{
  "context": {
    "slot": 221446650
  },
  "value": [
    {
      "address": "AccountPubkeyHere",
      "amount": "500000000000",
      "decimals": 6,
      "uiAmount": 500000.0,
      "uiAmountString": "500000"
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Each entry includes:

• address: Base-58 public key of the token account.

• amount: Raw token balance (as a string).

• decimals: Token mint’s decimal precision.

• uiAmount: Balance as a float (optional, may be deprecated).

💡 Developer Tips

• Fixed Result Size Always returns up to 20 largest accounts—no support for pagination.

• Token-Specific Query Only shows holders for the mint you provide. Use a valid SPL token mint.

• uiAmountString Is Recommended It’s safer and more consistent for displaying token balances than uiAmount.

• Avoid Excessive Polling While efficient, repeated queries in short intervals may add unnecessary load.

• Commitment Level Matters Use finalized for the most stable snapshot of top token holders.
