# Account & balance (Ledger)

The Ledger gives you a real-time view of your Nexterpay wallet — your balance, recent transactions, and historical entries filtered by date.

## When to call Ledger endpoints

* **Before a payout.** Confirm that available balance ≥ payout amount + expected fees.
* **For reconciliation.** Pull entries within a date window and match them against your internal ledger.
* **For support.** When a customer disputes a transaction, the ledger entry is the source of truth for the movement.

## Get balance

```
POST /Ledger/GetLedgerBalance?currency=XAF
```

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api-sandbox.nexterpay.io/Ledger/GetLedgerBalance?currency=XAF" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
```

```json
{
  "currency": "XAF",
  "available": 125000,
  "pending": 5000
}
```

* `available` — funds you can disburse now.
* `pending` — inbound funds not yet settled.

## Get recent entries

```
POST /Ledger/GetLedgerEntries
```

Returns the **most recent 200 entries** across all currencies. No parameters.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api-sandbox.nexterpay.io/Ledger/GetLedgerEntries" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
```

```json
[
  {
    "entryID": "b2c3d4e5-f6a7-4b8c-9d0e-1f2a3b4c5d6e",
    "orderID": "c9a1f8e0-4b3c-4b9e-8a2d-5e6f7a8b9c0d",
    "externalID": "payin-20260423-000123",
    "type": "PayIn",
    "amount": 100,
    "currency": "XAF",
    "timestamp": "2026-04-23T10:15:22Z"
  }
]
```

## Get filtered entries

```
POST /Ledger/GetListLedgerEntries?dtStart=ISO_DATE&dtEnd=ISO_DATE
```

Returns entries within a time window. Dates are ISO 8601 UTC.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api-sandbox.nexterpay.io/Ledger/GetListLedgerEntries?dtStart=2026-04-01T00:00:00Z&dtEnd=2026-04-23T23:59:59Z" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
```

{% hint style="info" %}
**Reconciliation pattern.** Run a nightly job that calls `GetListLedgerEntries` for the previous 24 hours, then matches each returned entry to a local record by `externalID`. Any entry that does not match a local record is an exception — investigate it before you close the day.
{% endhint %}
