+
+The Location to Account API is an easy way to convert a multilocation into an `AccountID20` address. The Location to Account API can be accessed from the [Runtime Calls](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/#/runtime){target=\_blank} tab of the **Developer** section of Polkadot.js Apps. The `convertLocation` method of the Location to Account API takes a multilocation as a parameter and returns an `AccountID20` address. 
+
+```javascript
+// Query the locationToAccountApi using convertLocation method
+const result =
+  await api.call.locationToAccountApi.convertLocation(multilocation);
+console.log('Conversion result:', result.toHuman());
+```

+
+    ```js
+    --8<-- 'code/builders/interoperability/xcm/core-concepts/location-to-account.js'

+
+The method will return the `AccountID20` address corresponding to the provided multilocation as follows:

+```bash
+Conversion result: { Ok: '0x506172656E740000000000000000000000000000' }

+The XCM Dry Run API is an easy and convenient way to test the integrity of your XCM message without incurring any transaction fees. The XCM Dry Run API can be accessed from the [Runtime Calls](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/#/runtime){target=\_blank} tab of the **Developer** section of Polkadot.js Apps.
