# Deprecation: Token Information No Longer Returned for Three Consensus Node Queries

The consensus nodes currently return token information in the queries [getAccountInfo](https://github.com/hashgraph/hedera-protobufs/blob/main/services/crypto_get_info.proto#L147)
, [getContractInfo](https://github.com/hashgraph/hedera-protobufs/blob/main/services/contract_get_info.proto#L128)
 and [getAccountBalance](https://github.com/hashgraph/hedera-protobufs/blob/main/services/crypto_get_account_balance.proto#L84)
. **The token relations and balance information in those queries is planned for deprecation in the future.**

The Hedera Mirror Node has been updated to return hbar balances along with token balances and relationships in real-time. Thus, the information provided by the queries mentioned above can now be obtained using the [mirror node REST API](https://docs.hedera.com/hedera/sdks-and-apis/rest-api#api-v1-accounts-idoraliasorevmaddress-tokens)
. Specifically, the ***tokens*** endpoint below:

```
/api/v1/accounts/{idOrAliasOrEvmAddress}/tokens
```

#### Impact

**Exchanges, wallets, and dapp developers will see the fields of the consensus node queries below no longer return data in the future:**

- AccountInfo.tokenRelationships
- AccountBalance.tokens
- ContractInfo.tokenRelationships

#### Rationale

With the implementation of [HIP-367](https://hips.hedera.com/hip/hip-367)
, retrieving tokens’ fields can lead to an excessive number of calls. To retrieve the balance from tokenAssociations, for example, each tokenID in the array would need a separate map lookup. In return, that getAccountBalance query would become extremely expensive. An additional challenge with these queries is that they require numerous uncharged map look-ups to find and retrieve the token information; and with association limits being removed, the queries may take an arbitrary amount of time to complete.

#### Take Action!

If you’re using token information obtained from the consensus node queries mentioned in this article, be sure to use the Mirror Node REST API for your applications. Visit [our documentation](https://docs.hedera.com/hedera/sdks-and-apis/rest-api)
 to learn how to implement these updates and stay ahead with the latest Hedera updates.
