How to get a Token Account's Balance

The token account holds the token balance, which can be retrieved with a single PRC call

import { clusterApiUrl, Connection, PublicKey } from "openverse-web3";

(async () => {
  const connection = new Connection(
    clusterApiUrl("https://api.devnet.openverse.network:8899"),
    "confirmed"
  );

  const tokenAccount = new PublicKey(
    "37iT6V7Y7EtnyiNcdbGVnjPRbMdzLJayKJ197jFXwpdB"
  );

  let tokenAmount = await connection.getTokenAccountBalance(tokenAccount);
  console.log(`amount: ${tokenAmount.value.amount}`);
  console.log(`decimals: ${tokenAmount.value.decimals}`);
})();
