How to get native balance by wallet

Prerequisites​

Before getting started, make sure you have the following ready:

  • Node v.14+ or Python
  • NPM/Yarn or Pip

Step 1: Setup Moralis​

First register your Moralis account and get your Moralis API Key.

Once you have your Moralis API Key, install the Moralis SDK in your project.

npm install moralis @moralisweb3/common-sol-utils

Step 2: Get native balance of an address​

In order to get the native balance of a wallet address, Moralis provides you the solBalance API endpoint to do so.

Here you'll need two parameters: address and network.

Once you have obtained both the address and network, you can copy the following code:

const Moralis = require("moralis").default;
const { SolNetwork } = require("@moralisweb3/common-sol-utils");

const runApp = async () => {
await Moralis.start({
apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
// ...and any other configuration
});

const address = "BWeBmN8zYDXgx2tnGj72cA533GZEWAVeqR9Eu29txaen";

const network = SolNetwork.MAINNET;

const response = await Moralis.SolApi.account.getBalance({
address,
network,
});

console.log(response.toJSON());
};

runApp();

Step 3: Run the script​

To run the script, enter the following command:

node index.js

In your terminal, you should see the following JSON response:

{
"lamports": "0",
"solana": "0"
}

Congratulations πŸ₯³ You just got the native balance of a wallet address with just a few lines of code using the Moralis Solana API!
