Get an Account Balance

An AccountBalanceRequest is utilized to make a balance request on the /account/balance endpoint. If the block_identifier is populated, a historical balance query should be performed.

Request Body REQUIRED
network_identifier object REQUIRED

The network_identifier specifies which network a particular object is associated with.

blockchain string REQUIRED

Blockchain name

network string REQUIRED

If a blockchain has a specific chain-id or network identifier, it should go in this field. It is up to the client to determine which network-specific identifier is mainnet or testnet.

sub_network_identifier object

In blockchains with sharded state, the SubNetworkIdentifier is required to query some object on a specific shard. This identifier is optional for all non-sharded blockchains.

network string REQUIRED

Network name

metadata object

Meta data from subnetwork identifier

producer string REQUIRED

producer

account_identifier object REQUIRED

The account_identifier uniquely identifies an account within a network. All fields in the account_identifier are utilized to determine this uniqueness (including the metadata field, if populated).

address string REQUIRED

The address may be a cryptographic public key (or some encoding of it) or a provided username.

sub_account object

An account may have state specific to a contract address (ERC-20 token) and/or a stake (delegated balance). The sub_account_identifier should specify which state (if applicable) an account instantiation refers to.

address string REQUIRED

The address may be a cryptographic public key (or some encoding of it) or a provided username.

metadata object

If the SubAccount address is not sufficient to uniquely specify a SubAccount, any other identifying information can be stored here. It is important to note that two SubAccounts with identical addresses but differing metadata will not be considered equal by clients.

metadata object

Blockchains that utilize a username model (where the address is not a derivative of a cryptographic public key) should specify the public key(s) owned by the address in metadata.

block_identifier object

When fetching data by BlockIdentifier, it may be possible to only specify the index or hash. If neither property is specified, it is assumed that the client is making a request at the current block.

Success

Schema OPTIONAL
block_identifier object

The block_identifier uniquely identifies a block in a particular network.

hash string

This is also known as the block hash.

index integer

This is also known as the block height.

balances object[]

A single account balance may have multiple currencies

value string

Value of the transaction in atomic units represented as an arbitrary-sized signed integer. For example, 1 BTC would be represented by a value of 100000000.

currency object

Currency is composed of a canonical Symbol and Decimals. This Decimals value is used to convert an Amount.Value from atomic units (Satoshis) to standard units (Bitcoins).

symbol string

Canonical symbol associated with a currency.

decimals integer

Number of decimal places in the standard unit representation of the amount. For example, BTC has 8 decimals. Note that it is not possible to represent the value of some currency in atomic units that is not base 10.

metadata object OPTIONAL

Any additional information related to the currency itself. For example, it would be useful to populate this object with the contract address of an ERC-20 token.

metadata object OPTIONAL
coins object[] OPTIONAL

If a blockchain is UTXO-based, all unspent Coins owned by an account_identifier should be returned alongside the balance. It is highly recommended to populate this field so that users of the Rosetta API implementation don't need to maintain their own indexer to track their UTXOs.

coin_identifier object

CoinIdentifier uniquely identifies a Coin.

identifier string

Identifier should be populated with a globally unique identifier of a Coin. In Bitcoin, this identifier would be transaction_hash:index.

amount object

Amount is some Value of a Currency. It is considered invalid to specify a Value without a Currency.

value string

Value of the transaction in atomic units represented as an arbitrary-sized signed integer. For example, 1 BTC would be represented by a value of 100000000.

currency object

Currency is composed of a canonical Symbol and Decimals. This Decimals value is used to convert an Amount.Value from atomic units (Satoshis) to standard units (Bitcoins).

symbol string

Canonical symbol associated with a currency.

decimals integer

Number of decimal places in the standard unit representation of the amount. For example, BTC has 8 decimals. Note that it is not possible to represent the value of some currency in atomic units that is not base 10.

metadata object OPTIONAL

Any additional information related to the currency itself. For example, it would be useful to populate this object with the contract address of an ERC-20 token.

metadata object OPTIONAL
metadata object OPTIONAL

Account-based blockchains that utilize a nonce or sequence number should include that number in the metadata. This number could be unique to the identifier or global across the account address.

sequence_number integer
400

Error

Schema OPTIONAL
code integer

Code is a network-specific error code. If desired, this code can be equivalent to an HTTP status code.

message string

Message is a network-specific error message. The message MUST NOT change for a given code. In particular, this means that any contextual information should be included in the details field.

retriable boolean

An error is retriable if the same request may succeed if submitted again.

details object OPTIONAL

Often times it is useful to return context specific to the request that caused the error (i.e. a sample of the stack trace or impacted account) in addition to the standard error message.

address string OPTIONAL
error string OPTIONAL
