# retrieveActiveCredentialsForNearbyNetworks(completion:) Requests all active Thread credentials with active border routers around from the framework. ``` func retrieveActiveCredentialsForNearbyNetworks(completion: @escaping @Sendable (Set?, (any Error)?) -> Void) ``` ``` var activeCredentialsForNearbyNetworks: Set { get async throws } ``` ## Parameters `completion` The completion handler the framework calls when the credentials become available. ## Discussion When calling this method, you will receive credentials for active border routers around. You receive all credentials agnostic to team ID. Unlike [`retrieveAllActiveCredentials(_:)`](/documentation/ThreadNetwork/THClient/retrieveAllActiveCredentials(_:)), this method returns active credentials on the device regardless of who actually stored it. > Note: This method asks for user permission to share available credentials. > If user denies the permission then the completion will contain error with code 15. > Concurrency Note: You can call this method from synchronous code using a completion handler, > as shown on this page, or you can call it as an asynchronous method that has the > following declaration: > > ```swift > var activeCredentialsForNearbyNetworks: Set { get async throws } > ``` > > For information about concurrency and asynchronous code in Swift, see . --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
