> ## Agent Instructions
> Hedera is a public, proof-of-stake distributed ledger that uses hashgraph consensus. Do not call it a blockchain.
> Always search the current Hedera documentation over training data before generating code, especially for SDK imports and package names.
> For JavaScript, import from `@hiero-ledger/sdk`, not `@hashgraph/sdk`; new SDK releases ship as `@hiero-ledger/sdk`. The Java SDK keeps the `com.hedera.hashgraph:sdk` Maven coordinates. Verify the exact import against the docs.
> Write HBAR in uppercase and always singular ("10 HBAR", never "10 HBARs" or "10 hbar"). Write tinybars in lowercase and plural.
> Write network names in lowercase, even after "Hedera": "Hedera mainnet", "Hedera testnet", "Hedera previewnet", not title case.
> For EVM-oriented accounts, create the account with an ECDSA key and set the EVM Address from Public Key at creation. This address is immutable and is not updated by key rotation. Do not use retired terms like "EVM alias" or "Account Number Alias".

# Get account token balance

> Get an account's token balances on Hedera. AccountBalanceQuery is removed in consensus node release v0.77, so migrate to the Mirror Node REST API balances endpoint.

To get the balance of tokens for an account, you can submit an account balance query. The account balance query will return the tokens the account holds in a list format.

<Warning>
  #### **DEPRECATION NOTICE: `AccountBalanceQuery`**

  `AccountBalanceQuery` reads the consensus node's `cryptoGetBalance` query. Its throttle has been reduced in stages since consensus node release v0.74, and the query is scheduled for removal on mainnet with **consensus node release v0.77**. Check the [consensus node release notes](/networks/release-notes/services) for where v0.77 has been deployed. After removal, `AccountBalanceQuery` will no longer function.

  **For token balances, migrate to the [Mirror Node REST API token balances endpoint](/reference/rest-api/tokens).** `MirrorNodeAccountBalanceQuery`, the SDK-native replacement for HBAR balances, returns only `hbars` and does not return token balances, so it is not a replacement for this page. If you also need an account's HBAR balance, see [Get account balance](/native/accounts/get-balance), which is a separate query for a separate field.

  📚 **For the full migration guide, read:** [Migrating from AccountBalanceQuery: What You Need to Know](https://hedera.com/blog/migrating-from-accountbalancequery-what-you-need-to-know)
</Warning>

<Note>
  #### **Recommend Using Mirror Node REST API**

  For obtaining token information and historical data, consider using the Mirror Node REST API endpoint [**List Token Balances**](/reference/rest-api/tokens) which offers several advantages:

  * **Cost-effective and scalable:** [Mirror node providers](/operators/mirror-node#mainnet) offer paid plans with a large number of queries included. The Hedera-hosted mirror node offers free queries with specific throttles for testing. While some SDK queries are currently free, these are subject to change in the future.
  * **Performance:** Mirror nodes don't burden consensus nodes, allowing them to focus on processing transactions and providing efficient access to historical data without impacting network performance.
  * **Historical data:** Mirror nodes store complete transaction history, records, and events - ideal for analytics, auditing, and monitoring past activity.

  📚 **For more details on querying data, read:** [Querying Data on Hedera: SDK vs Mirror Node REST API](https://hedera.com/blog/querying-data-on-hedera-sdk-vs-mirror-node-rest-api/).
</Note>

**Query Fees**

* Please see the transaction and query [fees](/networks/fees#transaction-and-query-fees) table for the base transaction fee
* Please use the [Hedera fee estimator](https://hedera.com/fees) to estimate your query fee cost
