Balances

Overview

The Balances endpoints in the Hedera Mirror Node REST API allows developers to query account balances on the Hedera network. These endpoints provides real-time and historical balance data, essential for wallets, explorers, and financial applications.

Endpoints

The following endpoint is available for the Balances object:

Endpoint	Description
GET /api/v1/balances	Retrieves a list of account balances.

Balances

The balance object represents the balance of accounts on the Hedera network. You can retrieve this to view the most recent balance of all the accounts on the network at that given time. The balances object returns the account ID and the balance in HBAR. Balances are checked on a periodic basis and thus return the most recent snapshot of time captured prior to the request.

The balance object represents the balance of accounts on the Hedera network. It allows you to retrieve the most recent snapshot of all account balances on the network at a given time. Since balances are updated periodically, the returned values reflect the latest recorded state before the request.

Each balance object includes:

• Account ID – The Hedera account being queried.

• Balance (in HBAR) – The most recent balance available.

• Token Balances (if applicable) – Associated token balances for the account.

List account balances

Returns a list of account and token balances on the network. Balance information returned by this API has a 15 minute granularity as it's generated by an asynchronous balance snapshot process. This information is limited to at most 50 token balances per account as outlined in HIP-367. As such, it's not recommended for general use and we instead recommend using either /api/v1/accounts/{id}/tokens or /api/v1/tokens/{id}/balances to obtain the current token balance information and /api/v1/accounts/{id} to return the current account balance.
