Coinbase Prime offers real-time portfolio and wallet balance information through its API. Note that the endpoints described here do not retain historical balance data. If a use case requires a history of balances over time, these endpoints should periodically queried with the results stored in an external system for long-term recordkeeping.
Use List Portfolio Balances to see aggregated balances for all assets within a specific portfolio. This is useful for high-level monitoring and trading workflows, such as displaying a portfolio overview or verifying available funds before placing orders.
Individual wallet balances can be obtained with Get Wallet Balance. This endpoint returns the current balance for a single wallet, making it ideal for tracking balances at the wallet level — for instance, monitoring a specific vault wallet in Coinbase Custody or a trading wallet in Prime. Please review the Wallets page before proceeding.
