Get account balance
GET
/accounts/{address}/balance/{asset_type}
 
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://example.com/v1/accounts/0x88fbd33f54e1126269769780feb24480428179f552e2313fbe571b72e62a1ca1/balance/0x1%3A%3Aaptos_coin%3A%3AAptosCoin?ledger_version=32425224034'

Retrieves account balance for coins / fungible asset (only for primary fungible asset store) for a given account, asset type and a specific ledger version. If the ledger version is not specified in the request, the latest ledger version is used.

The Aptos nodes prune account state history, via a configurable time window. If the requested ledger version has been pruned, the server responds with a 410.

Parameters

Section titled “ Parameters ”

Path Parameters

Section titled “ Path Parameters ”
address
required

A hex encoded 32 byte Aptos account address.

This is represented in a string as a 64 character hex string, sometimes shortened by stripping leading 0s, and adding a 0x.

For example, address 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 is represented as 0x1.

string format: hex
Example 
0x88fbd33f54e1126269769780feb24480428179f552e2313fbe571b72e62a1ca1

Address of account with or without a 0x prefix

asset_type
required

A hex encoded 32 byte Aptos account address or a struct tag.

This is represented in a string as a 64 character hex string, sometimes shortened by stripping leading 0s, and adding a 0x or Format: {address}::{module name}::{struct name}

string format: hex
Example 
0x1::aptos_coin::AptosCoin

Query Parameters

Section titled “ Query Parameters ”
ledger_version

A string containing a 64-bit unsigned integer.

We represent u64 values as a string to ensure compatibility with languages such as JavaScript that do not parse u64s in JSON natively.

string format: uint64
Example 
32425224034

Ledger version to get state of account

If not provided, it will be the latest version
