# Get Balance

GET https://api.meshapi.ai/v1/balance

Return the credit balance for the authenticated caller.

Authenticate with an rsk_ API key. If the key belongs to an organization, the
organization's shared balance is returned — all members of an org share the
same billing pool; a key with no org gets its own balance. The response also
reports how much of the balance is reserved by in-flight operations
(`reserved_usd`, plus a per-category `reserved_breakdown`) and the spendable
remainder (`available_usd`).
