A Twilio project's current balance can be checked via Console or the REST API. This guide will walk you through both methods.
Check a Project Balance via Console
- Access the Billing page in Console.
- Your project's balance will be displayed.
Check a Project Balance via the REST API
A project's current balance can also be checked by making an HTTP GET request to a project's Balance resource. Here’s an example cURL script:
curl -G https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/Balance.json \
-u "ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:your_auth_token"
This example request the current balance for the project with Account SID ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. To make this script work for you, make the following updates, and then paste it into a terminal window:
- Line 1 update with your Account SID
- Line 2 update with your Account SID and Auth Token.
You should see a response in the following format:
{
"currency": "USD",
"balance": "12.29",
"account_sid": "ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
}
