# getSignaturesForAddress

Returns signatures for confirmed transactions that include the given address in their `accountKeys` list. Returns signatures backwards in time from the provided signature or most recent confirmed block.

#### Parameters required for this RPC call

* **address:** Account address as base-58 encoded string. This is the address for which we are fetching transaction signatures.
* **configuration** : This contains the following parameters, all are optional fields.
  * **commitment**: The commitment describes how finalized a block is at that point in time. Only <mark style="color:yellow;">confirmed</mark> and <mark style="color:yellow;">finalized</mark> are supported, defaults to <mark style="color:yellow;">finalized</mark>.
  * **minContextSlot**: The minimum slot that the request can be evaluated at. This is a number.
  * **limit:** Maximum transaction signatures to return (between 1 and 1,000).
  * **before:** Start searching backwards from this transaction signature. If not provided the search starts from the top of the highest max confirmed block.
  * **until:** Search until this transaction signature, if found before limit reached
