tevm action get-balance

tevm action get-balance runs this operation: Get an account Ether balance. Reach for it when you need the operation from a terminal, CI job, or shell script.

Working example

The commands below were run with @tevm/cli@1.0.0-rc.151. They create their own local prerequisites or use the named public endpoint, so no hidden process is required.

npm install --global @tevm/cli@1.0.0-rc.151
tevm session docs --local --json
tevm action get-balance --address 0x1000000000000000000000000000000000000001 --session docs --run --json

Output captured from the final command:

{
  "ok": true,
  "command": "get-balance",
  "result": "1000000000000000000",
  "session": "docs"
}
