Fetching Public Account State on Testnet Using the WebClient

[partylikeits1983]

Feature description

I’m trying to retrieve the state of a public account on testnet using the webclient, but I’m unsure how to accomplish this.

This is possible with the Rust client since I can initialize the TonicRpcClient or use the .test_rpc_api() method on the client, however, as far as I know exporting the TonicRpcClient to the webClient is not possible because it requires std.

It would be very useful to have a way to ping the Miden node directly via the webClient, to get certain data such as the state of a public account that is not in the client, or getting all the notes for a given Id.

Here’s how I retrieve the account state in Rust:

let account_details = client
    .test_rpc_api()
    .get_account_update(counter_contract_id)
    .await
    .unwrap();

Looking to achieve similar functionality in TypeScript as the Rust snippet above.

This is somewhat being tackled/discussed on #710.

Could you share more details on your use case for the endpoint?
