Code Examples

curl https://fra.rpc.orbitflare.com?api_key=YOUR-API-KEY -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "getBalance",
  "params": [
    "83astBRguLMdt2h5U1Tpdq5tjFoJ6noeGwaY3mDLVcri"
  ]
}'

​
Request with Commitment

curl https://fra.rpc.orbitflare.com?api_key=YOUR-API-KEY -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "getBalance",
  "params": [
    "83astBRguLMdt2h5U1Tpdq5tjFoJ6noeGwaY3mDLVcri",
    {
      "commitment": "finalized"
    }
  ]
}'

​
Using web3.js

import { Connection, PublicKey } from '@solana/web3.js';

const connection = new Connection('https://fra.rpc.orbitflare.com?api_key=YOUR-API-KEY');
const publicKey = new PublicKey('83astBRguLMdt2h5U1Tpdq5tjFoJ6noeGwaY3mDLVcri');

const balance = await connection.getBalance(
  publicKey,
  'confirmed'
);

console.log(`Balance: ${balance / 1e9} SOL`);

​
Notes

  1. Balance is returned in lamports (1 SOL = 1,000,000,000 lamports)
  2. For new accounts, balance will be 0
  3. The balance includes all SOL tokens, including those delegated for staking
  4. The response is immediate as it reads from the current state

​
Best Practices

  1. Use appropriate commitment level based on your needs:
    • processed for UI updates
    • confirmed for most operations
    • finalized for critical operations
  2. Convert lamports to SOL by dividing by 1e9 when displaying to users
  3. Consider using getAccountInfo if you need more account details
