Question

hello i trying to get balance form alphanet via tzscan api. my request url were "https://api.alphanet.tzscan.io/v3/balance/tz1XgTzqC9JJNds5isd95VPaRHpVHpFX8zs2". here i only get 0 as balance which not right.

Answer 1

This request is using the balance updates that we have disabled on alphanet.
I would recommend to use the node rpc: https://alphanet-node.tzscan.io/chains/main/blocks/head/context/contracts/tz1XgTzqC9JJNds5isd95VPaRHpVHpFX8zs2/balance
But this also gives 0 so your balance is actually of 0.
