# Retrieve Plaid Ledger balance

`POST /transfer/ledger/get`

Use the `/transfer/ledger/get` endpoint to view a balance on the ledger held with Plaid.

## Request body

- TransferLedgerGetRequest — Defines the request schema for `/transfer/ledger/get`
  - `client_id` string — Your Plaid API `client_id`. The `client_id` is required and may be provided either in the `PLAID-CLIENT-ID` header or as part of a request body.
  - `secret` string — Your Plaid API `secret`. The `secret` is required and may be provided either in the `PLAID-SECRET` header or as part of a request body.
