# Retrieve an address

> Retrieves a single internal or external Address by `address_id`.

Use the playground below to try this endpoint directly, or review the OpenAPI details in the right panel.

This endpoint returns a single internal (custodial) or external Address by its `address_id`. Use it to fetch the latest `status`, `address` value, and enabled `transfer_types`.

### Example request

```bash theme={null}
curl --request GET \
  --url "https://api.brale.xyz/accounts/${ACCOUNT_ID}/addresses/${ADDRESS_ID}" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}"
```

### Example response

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "2MhCCIHulVdXrHiEuQDJvnKbSkl",
  "type": "external",
  "name": "Example Bank",
  "status": "active",
  "address": null,
  "transfer_types": ["ach_credit", "same_day_ach_credit", "rtp_credit"]
}
```

<Note>
  This endpoint is useful after creating an address whose capabilities may update asynchronously — for example, checking whether `rtp_credit` has been added to an external bank address after RTP eligibility is confirmed. See [Create external address for RTP](/key-concepts/addresses#create-external-address-for-rtp).

## OpenAPI

````yaml GET /accounts/{account_id}/addresses/{address_id}
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Brale Issuance and Orchestration API
  version: 2.3.1
  description: >
    Brale supports stablecoin issuance and orchestration, enabling businesses
    and

    ecosystems to create their own stablecoins and convert between fiat and
    stablecoins

    seamlessly. From stablecoin onramps, offramps, and swaps to custody and
    payouts, the

    Brale API makes it easy to build stablecoin-enabled products.


    NOTE: All resource IDs (including account_id, address_id,
    financial_institution_id,

    and automation_id) are KSUIDs—26-character alphanumeric strings that are
    sortable

    by time. Examples showing UUIDs are incorrect.



    **What's new in 2.3.1**

    - Unified **Addresses** model for on-chain and off-chain endpoints
      - `Transfers` now accepts **address_id only** (no financial_institution_id)
      - Optional `brand` object to control bank statement presentation (`branding` still accepted as legacy alias)
    - Added off-chain rails: `ach_credit`, `same_day_ach_credit`, `ach_debit`,
    `same_day_ach_debit`, `rtp-credit`

    - Plaid endpoints moved to `/accounts/{account_id}/plaid/*`

    - `Financial Institutions` marked **deprecated** (migration path to
    **Addresses**)

    - Create Account now uses `CreateManagedAccountRequest` with
    `beneficial_owners`, `business_controller`, and `EndUserTosAttestation`.

    - Transfers now accept `brand` (replaces `branding`, still aliased in docs).

    - Plaid endpoints updated to return `address_id` and accept
    `transfer_types`.

    - Off-chain Address creation uses `CreateExternalAddressRequest` oneOf with
    bank + blockchain variants.

    - FI endpoints kept but marked deprecated; use Addresses instead.

    - `rtp_credit` is the canonical RTP rail name.
