# /eth/v1/beacon/states/{state\_id}/validator\_balances

Balances will be returned for all indices or public key that match known validators. If an index or public key does not match any known validator, no balance will be returned but this will not cause an error. There are no guarantees for the returned data in terms of ordering; the index is returned for each balance, and can be used to confirm for which inputs a response has been returned.

#### P**arameters:**

**state\_id-string**, State identifier. Can be one of: "head" (canonical head in node's view), "genesis", "finalized", "justified", , \<hex encoded stateRoot with 0x prefix>.

#### Example:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```json
// Request
curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 
https://ethereum-beacon.blockpi.network/rpc/v1/your-rpc-key/eth/v1/beacon/states/head/validator_balances

// Result
as described above
```

{% endcode %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.blockpi.io/build/api-reference/ethereum/ethereum-beacon-api/eth-v1-beacon-states-state_id-validator_balances.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
