Fetch account balances

Intermediate
Tutorial

Overview​

The account_balance endpoint allows you to fetch the balances for a certain account. It is the implementation of the /account/balance endpoint of the Rosetta API standard.

Prerequisites​

  • Your Rosetta instance is up and running under the address 0.0.0.0:8082.

  • Make sure to use the correct NetworkIdentifier. For this example an arbitrary AccountIdentifier with the principal xmiu5-jqaaa-aaaag-qbz7q-cai and the default subaccount 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 was used.

Example​

curl --location '0.0.0.0:8082/account/balance'  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{
    "network_identifier": {
            "blockchain": "Internet Computer",
            "network": "mxzaz-hqaaa-aaaar-qaada-cai"
    },
    "account_identifier": {
        "address": "xmiu5-jqaaa-aaaag-qbz7q-cai",
        "sub_account": {
            "address": "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
        }
    }
}'

The response will give you the balance of the AccountIdentifier at the most recent block.
