# How to Get Wallet Balances

> Retrieve all token and NFT balances for any Solana wallet with USD values, logos, and metadata. Sorted by value for easy portfolio tracking.

<Note>
  The Wallet API is in Beta. Endpoints and response formats may change.
</Note>

## Overview

The Wallet Balances endpoint retrieves all token and NFT holdings for a Solana wallet — SOL, SPL tokens, Token-2022, and NFTs — with USD pricing, logos, and metadata. Results are sorted by USD value in descending order: tokens with pricing data appear first, followed by tokens without prices.

The endpoint returns up to 100 tokens per request, so pagination is manual. Use the `page` parameter to fetch additional pages and read `pagination.hasMore` to know when more results are available. Each request is a single API call and costs 100 credits.

<Note>
  USD prices are sourced from DAS and update hourly, covering the top 10,000 tokens by market cap. `pricePerToken` and `usdValue` are `null` for unsupported tokens. Prices are estimates, not real-time market rates.
</Note>

## When to use this

Use the Wallet Balances API when you need to:

* **Display portfolio holdings**: show users their complete token and NFT holdings.
* **Calculate USD values**: get portfolio valuations with hourly-updated pricing.
* **Build wallet UIs**: power wallet dashboards and asset lists.
* **Track token holdings**: monitor specific token balances across wallets.
* **Portfolio analytics**: analyze holdings distribution and concentration.
* **Tax reporting**: generate holdings snapshots for tax purposes.

## Quickstart

### Basic balance query

Get all token balances for a wallet with USD values:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="JavaScript">
    ```javascript theme={"system"}
    const getWalletBalances = async (address) => {
      const url = `https://api.helius.xyz/v1/wallet/${address}/balances?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY`;

      const response = await fetch(url);
      if (!response.ok) {
        throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
      }

      const data = await response.json();

      const solBalance = data.balances[0]; // SOL is always first when showNative=true
      console.log(`SOL Balance: ${solBalance.balance} SOL ($${solBalance.usdValue})`);
      console.log(`Page ${data.pagination.page} Total Value: $${data.totalUsdValue}`);
      console.log(`Token Count (this page): ${data.balances.length}`);

      // Display top holdings
      data.balances.slice(0, 5).forEach(token => {
        console.log(`${token.symbol}: ${token.balance} ($${token.usdValue || 'N/A'})`);
      });

      return data;
    };

    getWalletBalances("86xCnPeV69n6t3DnyGvkKobf9FdN2H9oiVDdaMpo2MMY");
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    import requests

    def get_wallet_balances(address: str):
        url = f"https://api.helius.xyz/v1/wallet/{address}/balances"
        headers = {"X-Api-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"}

        response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
        response.raise_for_status()

        data = response.json()

        sol_balance = data['balances'][0]  # SOL is always first when showNative=true
        print(f"SOL Balance: {sol_balance['balance']} SOL (${sol_balance['usdValue']})")
        print(f"Page {data['pagination']['page']} Total Value: ${data['totalUsdValue']}")
        print(f"Token Count (this page): {len(data['balances'])}")

        # Display top holdings
        for token in data['balances'][:5]:
            usd_value = token.get('usdValue', 'N/A')
            print(f"{token['symbol']}: {token['balance']} (${usd_value})")

        return data

    get_wallet_balances("86xCnPeV69n6t3DnyGvkKobf9FdN2H9oiVDdaMpo2MMY")
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="cURL">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    curl "https://api.helius.xyz/v1/wallet/86xCnPeV69n6t3DnyGvkKobf9FdN2H9oiVDdaMpo2MMY/balances?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY"
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Include NFTs in results

Get both tokens and NFTs in a single request with `showNfts=true`:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="JavaScript">
    ```javascript theme={"system"}
    const getWalletWithNfts = async (address) => {
      const url = `https://api.helius.xyz/v1/wallet/${address}/balances?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY&showNfts=true`;

      const response = await fetch(url);
      const data = await response.json();

      console.log(`Tokens: ${data.balances.length}`);
      console.log(`NFTs: ${data.nfts?.length || 0}`);

      // Display NFTs
      data.nfts?.forEach(nft => {
        console.log(`NFT: ${nft.name || 'Unnamed'} (${nft.collectionName || 'Unknown Collection'})`);
      });

      return data;
    };

    getWalletWithNfts("86xCnPeV69n6t3DnyGvkKobf9FdN2H9oiVDdaMpo2MMY");
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    def get_wallet_with_nfts(address: str):
        url = f"https://api.helius.xyz/v1/wallet/{address}/balances"
        params = {
            "api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
            "showNfts": "true"
        }

        response = requests.get(url, params=params)
        response.raise_for_status()

        data = response.json()

        print(f"Tokens: {len(data['balances'])}")
        print(f"NFTs: {len(data.get('nfts', []))}")

        # Display NFTs
        for nft in data.get('nfts', []):
            name = nft.get('name', 'Unnamed')
            collection = nft.get('collectionName', 'Unknown Collection')
            print(f"NFT: {name} ({collection})")

        return data

    get_wallet_with_nfts("86xCnPeV69n6t3DnyGvkKobf9FdN2H9oiVDdaMpo2MMY")
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Filter the results

Use query parameters to narrow what is returned:

```javascript theme={"system"}
// Only show tokens with non-zero balances
const url = `https://api.helius.xyz/v1/wallet/${address}/balances?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY&showZeroBalance=false`;

// Exclude native SOL from results
const url = `https://api.helius.xyz/v1/wallet/${address}/balances?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY&showNative=false`;

// Get only the top 50 tokens by value
const url = `https://api.helius.xyz/v1/wallet/${address}/balances?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY&limit=50`;
```

## Query parameters

| Parameter         | Type    | Default | Description                                        |

| `limit`           | integer | 100     | Maximum number of tokens per page (1-100)          |
| `showZeroBalance` | boolean | false   | Include tokens with zero balance                   |
| `showNative`      | boolean | true    | Include native SOL in results                      |
| `showNfts`        | boolean | false   | Include NFTs in results (max 100, first page only) |

### Field notes

* **`balance`**: human-readable amount, already adjusted for decimals — `1.5` means 1.5 SOL and `1000.5` means 1000.5 USDC. No lamport conversion is needed. This endpoint does not expose a raw `amountRaw` field; if you need the exact integer value, derive it as `Math.round(balance * 10 ** decimals)`.
* **`decimals`**: provided for reference only.
* **`pricePerToken` / `usdValue`**: `null` for tokens without DAS pricing data (see the pricing note above).
* **`totalUsdValue`**: total USD value for the current response page only. For full-portfolio value, paginate through all pages and sum each balance's `usdValue`.
* **`tokenProgram`**: which token standard each token uses — `spl-token` (legacy SPL Token) or `token-2022` (Token Extensions). Both are fully supported.

## Use cases

### Build a portfolio dashboard

Display user holdings with USD values:

```javascript theme={"system"}
const renderPortfolio = async (address) => {
  const { balances, totalUsdValue } = await getWalletBalances(address);

  console.log(`Current Page Value: $${totalUsdValue.toLocaleString()}`);
  console.log(`\nTop Holdings:`);

  // totalUsdValue is page-scoped; paginate before computing full portfolio value.
  balances.slice(0, 10).forEach((token, i) => {
    if (token.usdValue) {
      console.log(`${i + 1}. ${token.symbol}: ${token.balance.toFixed(4)} ($${token.usdValue.toFixed(2)})`);
    }
  });
};
```

### Calculate token concentration

Analyze portfolio diversification:

```javascript theme={"system"}
const analyzeConcentration = async (address) => {
  const { balances, totalUsdValue } = await getWalletBalances(address);

  const tokensWithValue = balances.filter(t => t.usdValue);

  if (tokensWithValue.length === 0) {
    console.log('No tokens with USD pricing data available');
    return null;
  }

  const topToken = tokensWithValue[0];
  const pageConcentration = (topToken.usdValue / totalUsdValue) * 100;

  console.log(`Largest Position on Current Page: ${topToken.symbol} (${pageConcentration.toFixed(1)}%)`);

  if (pageConcentration > 50) {
    console.log(`Warning: Current page is highly concentrated in ${topToken.symbol}`);
  }

  return { topToken, pageConcentration };
};
```

### Track a specific token balance

Monitor a specific token across multiple wallets:

```javascript theme={"system"}
const getTokenBalance = async (address, tokenMint) => {
  const { balances } = await getWalletBalances(address);

  const token = balances.find(t => t.mint === tokenMint);

  if (!token) {
    console.log(`Token not found in wallet`);
    return null;
  }

  console.log(`${token.symbol} Balance: ${token.balance}`);
  console.log(`USD Value: $${token.usdValue || 'N/A'}`);

  return token;
};

// Example: Check USDC balance
getTokenBalance(
  "86xCnPeV69n6t3DnyGvkKobf9FdN2H9oiVDdaMpo2MMY",
  "EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v" // USDC mint
);
```

### Export holdings for tax reporting

Generate a holdings snapshot:

```javascript theme={"system"}
const exportHoldingsSnapshot = async (address) => {
  const { balances, totalUsdValue } = await getWalletBalances(address);

  const snapshot = {
    date: new Date().toISOString(),
    address,
    pageValueUSD: totalUsdValue,
    holdings: balances
      .filter(t => t.usdValue)
      .map(t => ({
        symbol: t.symbol,
        mint: t.mint,
        balance: t.balance,
        pricePerToken: t.pricePerToken,
        usdValue: t.usdValue
      }))
  };

  console.log(JSON.stringify(snapshot, null, 2));
  return snapshot;
};
```

## Pagination

For wallets with more than 100 tokens, page through results with the `page` parameter and `pagination.hasMore`:

```javascript theme={"system"}
const getAllBalances = async (address) => {
  let allBalances = [];
  let page = 1;
  let hasMore = true;

  while (hasMore) {
    const url = `https://api.helius.xyz/v1/wallet/${address}/balances?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY&page=${page}&limit=100`;

    const response = await fetch(url);
    const data = await response.json();

    allBalances = allBalances.concat(data.balances);
    hasMore = data.pagination.hasMore;
    page++;

    console.log(`Fetched page ${data.pagination.page}, total tokens so far: ${allBalances.length}`);
  }

  console.log(`Total tokens: ${allBalances.length}`);
  return allBalances;
};
```

NFTs are returned on the first page only (up to 100), regardless of token pagination.

## Best practices

* **Filter zero balances for a cleaner UI.** Use `showZeroBalance=false` to hide tokens the wallet no longer holds.
* **Include NFTs only when needed.** NFTs are excluded by default for performance; set `showNfts=true` only when displaying them.
* **Handle missing price data.** Always check whether `pricePerToken` and `usdValue` are `null` before displaying. These are hourly estimates from DAS, not real-time market rates.
* **Cache responses.** Balance data can be cached for several seconds to reduce API calls.
* **Paginate large wallets.** Some wallets hold thousands of tokens; implement pagination to handle them efficiently.
