I want to get my account balance through your API's

Asking for OAuth details? You're missing the Bearer token

How to authenticate correctly when pulling your account balance through the API.

Auth type

OAuth 2.0

Header needed

Authorization

Level

Technical

If the response to your account balance request asks for OAuth details, the fix is simple: you need to send an Authorization header containing a Bearer token on the request. Without it, the API has no way to know which account's balance to return.

What to send

Every authenticated Reloadly endpoint — account balance included — expects this header on the request:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

If you haven't obtained an access token yet, get one first by exchanging your client_id and client_secret at the auth endpoint — see our article on sending your first API request for the exact request format.

ℹ️ For the full account balance endpoint reference, see the Account Balance section of our API docs.

💡 Still stuck? Double-check your token hasn't expired and that it was issued for the right product audience — both are common reasons this error shows up even when a header is present. See our article on "Full authentication is required" errors for more.
