## Getting Your Balance

How to fetch your available and pending balance.

```
$ curl 'https://api.vaultoro.com/v1/private/balances' \
  -H 'VTOKEN: {TOKEN}'
```

The response will look a bit like this. Your pending balances represent orders you currently have places. To calculate your available balance, simply subtract your pending balance from your settled balance.

```
{
	"data": [{
		"type": "PENDING",
		"handle": "BTC",
		"quantity": "0.00000000"
	}, {
		"type": "SETTLED",
		"handle": "BTC",
		"quantity": "9998.04231521"
	}, {
		"type": "PENDING",
		"handle": "GOLD",
		"quantity": "17.0439"
	}, {
		"type": "SETTLED",
		"handle": "GOLD",
		"quantity": "100007.0439"
	}, {
		"type": "PENDING",
		"handle": "DASH",
		"quantity": "0.00000000"
	}, {
		"type": "SETTLED",
		"handle": "DASH",
		"quantity": "23.97600000"
	}, {

		"quantity": "0"
	}, {
