getbalance

getbalance ( “(dummy)” minconf include_watchonly )

Returns the total available balance. The available balance is what the wallet considers currently spendable, and is thus affected by options which limit spendability such as -spendzeroconfchange.

Arguments:

(dummy) (string, optional) Remains for backward compatibility. Must be excluded or set to ”*”.
minconf (numeric, optional, default=0) Only include transactions confirmed at least this many times.
include_watchonly (bool, optional, default=false) Also include balance in watch-only addresses (see ‘importaddress’)

Result: amount (numeric) The total amount in BTC received for this account.

Examples:

The total amount in the wallet with 1 or more confirmations

bitcoin-cli getbalance

The total amount in the wallet at least 6 blocks confirmed

bitcoin-cli getbalance ”*” 6
