Overview of Available Balances

The balances or available funds refer to the amount of money that is ready for transfer, withdrawn or payout through Payiano's automated processes or explicitly through the Transfers API, Utilities API or Payouts API. These funds are immediately accessible for various financial transactions.

Real-Time Fund Availability

To provide a breakdown of the available balance, Payiano organizes it by currency. This means that you can see how much money is available for each specific currency. This information is crucial for businesses and organizations to manage their finances effectively, as it allows them to track and access funds that are ready for use or disbursement, facilitating seamless financial operations.

  • Instant Access: Funds reflected in the balances are immediately accessible for transfers, withdrawals, or payouts.
  • Real-Time Updates: The balance information is updated in real time, ensuring accuracy and immediacy.
  • Currency Categorization: Balances are organized by currency, facilitating easy management of multi-currency funds.

Request
Request body schema:
application/json
Query parameters:
page
Type: integer|null
Default: 1

The page number to be retrieved, for the list of balances. So, a combination of page=1 and per_page=25 returns the first 25 balances items. A combination of page=2 and per_page=25 returns the next 25 balances items.

per_page
Type: integer|null
Default: 25
Possible values: [1 ... 200]

The maximum number of balances items to return in the response.

q
Type: string|null
Min: 3

This parameter enables free-text search across key balances fields (including but not limited to currency_code), requiring a minimum of 3 characters per search term. It performs case-insensitive partial matching, and returns relevance-ranked results while automatically handling special characters. This provides a simple yet powerful way to quickly find relevant balances items. It could accept an array_of_strings as well.

sort
Type: array_of_objects|null

Control the ordering of results with sophisticated multi-column sorting. Specify an array of objects, each containing a field and direction. Maximum 5 sort fields per request to maintain optimal performance.

field
required
Type: enum
Possible values:
[
"available_amount", "currency_code", "id", "pending_amount" ]

This attribute specifies the field used for sorting. It can be a direct attribute of the resource or a related field referenced using dot notation.

direction
required
Type: enum
Possible values:
[
"asc", "desc" ]

This attribute specifies the sorting direction. It can be either asc for ascending order or desc for descending order. Please note that the value is case-sensitive.

filters
Type: object|null
Apply complex filtering conditions using nested logical groups and comparison operators. Supports advanced querying with and/or logic, multiple operators, and hierarchical conditions.

The filtering system supports unlimited nesting depth , allowing you to build sophisticated query logic. Each group can contain a mix of conditions and other groups. See Filtering Reference for complete documentation, operator list, and examples.
node
required
Type: enum
Possible values:
[
"group" ]

Used exclusively as the root filter node. Specifies the type of the root filter node. At the root level, only a logical group node is supported. A group node acts as a container that combines one or more filter conditions or nested groups using AND/OR logic. Nested group and condition nodes may appear within this root group to build complex filtering structures.

logic
required
Type: enum
Possible values:
[
"and", "or" ]

This parameter is used exclusively on group nodes. Defines how filters within a filter group are logically combined. This parameter is used exclusively on group nodes and determines how the group evaluates its child filters or nested groups:

• and — all contained conditions must match
• or — at least one contained condition must match

Logical groups can be nested to construct complex filtering expressions with mixed AND/OR logic across multiple levels.

filters
required
Type: array_of_objects

This parameter is used exclusively on group nodes. Contains the filter nodes (conditions or groups) within this logical group. Groups can be nested to create complex hierarchical filtering logic.

node
Type: enum
Possible values:
[
"group", "condition" ]

Specifies the type of filter node. A filter node can be either a logical group or a condition:

• group — a logical grouping of multiple filters combined with AND/OR logic
• condition — a single filter condition specifying a field, operator, and value

Filter nodes can be nested to create complex filtering structures.

logic
Type: enum
Possible values:
[
"and", "or" ]

This parameter is used exclusively on group nodes. Defines how filters within a filter group are logically combined. This parameter is used exclusively on group nodes and determines how the group evaluates its child filters or nested groups:

• and — all contained conditions must match
• or — at least one contained condition must match

Logical groups can be nested to construct complex filtering expressions with mixed AND/OR logic across multiple levels.

filters
Type: array_of_objects

This parameter is used exclusively on group nodes. Contains the filter nodes (conditions or groups) within this logical group. Groups can be nested to create complex hierarchical filtering logic.

field
Type: enum
Possible values:
[
"id", "currency_code", "available_amount", "pending_amount" ]

This parameter is used exclusively on condition nodes. It specifies the field evaluated by the filter condition. The selected field determines which operators are available and the expected format of the comparison value based on its data type.

operator
Type: enum
Possible values:
[
"eq", "not_eq", "gt", "gte", "lt", "lte", "starts_with", "not_starts_with", "ends_with", "not_ends_with", "contains", "not_contains", "in", "not_in", "between", "not_between", "is_null", "is_not_null" ]

This parameter is used exclusively on condition nodes. It specifies the comparison operator applied to the selected field. The set of supported operators depends on the field and its data type, and only operators that are valid for the chosen field can be used. Available operators for each field are provided in the response and presented in the filter selection. Refer to the Filtering Reference for the complete operator list, expected value formats, and usage examples.

value
Type: mixed

This parameter is used exclusively on condition nodes. The value used by the selected operator to evaluate the field. The expected structure and data type of this parameter depend on both the field type and the operator:

• Scalar operators (eq, not_eq, gt, gte, lt, lte, starts_with, ends_with, contains, and their negations) expect a single value matching the field type (for example, string or number).

• List operators (in, not_in) expect an array of values compatible with the field type.

• Range operators (between, not_between) expect an array of exactly two values representing the inclusive lower and upper bounds.

• Null-check operators (is_null, is_not_null) do not accept a value and must be used without this parameter.

Supplying a value that does not match the operator or field type will result in a validation error in strict mode. See the Filtering Reference for supported operators, applicable field types, and examples.

response_type
Type: enum|null
Default: json_list
Possible values:
[
"json_list", "json_aggregate", "export_csv", "export_xls", "export_xlsx" ]

Specifies the output format of the datatable response, supporting both JSON and export file types for easy integration and reporting. Refer to Response Types for more details.

aggregations
Type: object|null

Defines how to aggregate and group data when response_type is set to json_aggregate. This parameter enables analytical style responses suitable for dashboards and reports. Refer to Aggregations for more details.

fields
required
Type: array_of_objects

Defines the fields to be aggregated along with their respective metrics. Maximum 5 aggregation fields per request to maintain optimal performance.

field
required
Type: enum
Possible values:
[
"available_amount", "currency_code", "id", "pending_amount" ]

This attribute specifies the name of the field to be aggregated.

metrics
required
Type: array_of_enums
Possible values:
[
"avg", "count", "sum" ]

Defines the aggregation metrics to apply to the selected field. Note that the avg and sum metrics are applicable only to numeric fields.

group_by
required
Type: array_of_objects|null
Specifies the dimensions used to group aggregated data results. Each object defines a field by which records will be grouped before applying aggregation metrics. Maximum 5 aggregation group by fields per request to maintain optimal performance.

Grouping enables developers to analyze data trends across categories, dates, or other meaningful dimensions.

If no group_by fields are provided, the system performs a global aggregation across the entire dataset. In such cases, the response includes a single summary group, typically referencing the latest created_at value.
field
required
Type: enum
Possible values:
[
"currency_code" ]

Specifies the field name used for grouping results within the aggregation. This determines how records are organized and segmented when computing metrics.
