## les_priorityClientInfo {#les-priorityclientinfo}
2022-09-09 15:28:25 +03:00
Get individual client information on clients with a positive balance in the specified ID range, `start` included, `stop` excluded. If `stop` is zero then results are returned until the last existing balance entry. `maxCount` limits the number of returned results. If the count limit is reached but there are more IDs in the range then the first missing ID is included in the result with an empty value assigned to it.
