# hmy\_getStorageAt

Returns the value from a storage position at a given address.

**Parameters**

1. `DATA`, 20 Bytes - address of the storage.
2. `QUANTITY` - integer of the position in the storage.
3. `QUANTITY|TAG` - integer block number, or the string `"latest"`, `"earliest"` or `"pending"`

**Returns**

`DATA` - the value at this storage position.

**Example**

Calculating the correct position depends on the storage to retrieve. Consider the following contract deployed at `0x295a70b2de5e3953354a6a8344e616ed314d7251` by address `0x391694e7e0b0cce554cb130d723a9d27458f9298`.

```
contract Storage {
    uint pos0;
    mapping(address => uint) pos1;

    function Storage() {
        pos0 = 1234;
        pos1[msg.sender] = 5678;
    }
}
```

Retrieving the value of pos0 is straight forward:

```
curl -X POST "https://api.s0.b.hmny.io" --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "hmy_getStorageAt", "params": ["0x295a70b2de5e3953354a6a8344e616ed314d7251", "0x0", "latest"], "id": 1}' localhost:8545

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000004d2"}
```
