# Get User account for Delegate

A Delegate is an address that can control an account on the user's behalf. The delegated user (public key) although has limited power, can perform most operations on the account except for withdrawals. To find delegated users on Drift Protocol, we need to query the <mark style="color:yellow;">delegate</mark> field in the <mark style="color:yellow;">drift\_User</mark> account.

You can directly copy paste this code on <mark style="color:yellow;">replit</mark> and see it in action.

#### Fetch user account for a particular delegate

```javascript
const SHYFT_API_KEY = "YOUR-API-KEY";

async function getDataByGraphQl(delegateAddress) {
  //get user by delegated account
  const operationsDoc = `
      query MyQuery {
        drift_User(
          limit: 10
          where: {delegate: {_eq: ${JSON.stringify(delegateAddress)}}}
        ) {
          delegate
          authority
          pubkey
        } 
      }
    `; //graphQl query
  const result = await fetch(
    `https://programs.shyft.to/v0/graphql/accounts?api_key=${SHYFT_API_KEY}&network=mainnet-beta`, //SHYFT's GQL endpoint
    {
      method: "POST",
      body: JSON.stringify({
        query: operationsDoc,
        variables: {},
        operationName: "MyQuery",
      }),
    },
  );

  return await result.json();
}

async function getReserveCurrencyDetails(delegatePubkey) {
  const { errors, data } = await getDataByGraphQl(delegatePubkey);

  if (errors) {
    console.error(errors);
    console.log("Some Error Occured, please check your API key or try again");
  }

  console.dir(data, { depth: null });
}
getReserveCurrencyDetails("EBWSHvJmWkg1r2oUPDcKxfBxA1QG2fdZdAqH2EVNTzxs")
```
{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Response" %}
```json
{
  drift_User: [
    {
      delegate: "EBWSHvJmWkg1r2oUPDcKxfBxA1QG2fdZdAqH2EVNTzxs",
      authority: "AUYs3A9gMLn5tqySAQ4Sqea8PB5sWAXmgZGz8GBerYE3",
      pubkey: "6r1LX9SnSgG96vob5cyLDMRa2zzmVxR7WWVDCp2mYHmq"
    }
  ]
}
```
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

The response contains `authority` and `delegate` which indicates the account owner and the delegated account, more fields can also be cherrypicked as per your requirement.

You can also query the <mark style="color:yellow;">delegate account</mark> for a particular user account or authority, using the following query

```json
query MyQuery {
  drift_User(
    where: {authority: {_eq: "AUYs3A9gMLn5tqySAQ4Sqea8PB5sWAXmgZGz8GBerYE3"}}
  ) { //replace with the user/authority wallet which you want to query
    status
    pubkey
    authority
    delegate
  }
}
```
