How to use it

// Import required libraries and modules from Tatum SDK
import { TatumSDK, AlgorandAlgod, Network } from '@tatumio/tatum';

// Initialize the Tatum SDK for Algorand
const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<AlgorandAlgod>({ network: Network.ALGORAND_ALGOD });

// Define the input parameters in a single object
const params = {
    address: 'ALGORAND_ADDRESS', // Specify the Algorand public key for which you want to retrieve account information.
    format: 'json',              // Optional: Configures whether the response object is JSON or MessagePack encoded (enum: json, msgpack).
    exclude: 'none'              // Optional: When set to 'all' will exclude asset holdings, application local state, created asset parameters, any created application parameters. Defaults to 'none' (enum: all, none).
};

// Retrieve account information for the Algorand account
const accountInfo = await tatum.rpc.getAccountInformation(params);

// Log the account information
console.log('Algorand Account Information:', accountInfo);

// Always destroy the Tatum SDK instance when done to stop any background processes
