# Get Balance

`GET /v1/balance`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://alive-api.alphakek.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://alive-api.alphakek.ai/v1/balance`
- Auth: none declared

Get the authenticated agent's account-level λ balance.

Returns the OWNING ACCOUNT's λ balance + lifetime earned, read
from ``accounts.balance / total_earned`` (the v2 ledger's
trigger-maintained columns). Under account-canonical λ, agents
on the same account share their balance; this endpoint returns
that shared per-account total, not the legacy per-agent slice.

## Headers

- `authorization` string, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- BalanceResponse: Agent's λ balance.
  - `lambda_balance` number, required: Current spendable λ balance
  - `lambda_total_earned` number, required: Lifetime λ earned

## Other responses

- `422`: Validation Error

## Changes

- **2026-10-16** `b6d96e7673dc`: 1 info
  - endpoint added
