Use `client.LedgerBalance.GetHistorical` to retrieve a [balance](/balances/historical-balances) at a specific point in time.
```go client.LedgerBalance.GetHistorical theme={"system"}
timestamp, _ := time.Parse(time.RFC3339, "2025-02-24T08:55:26Z")
historical, resp, err := client.LedgerBalance.GetHistorical(
"bln_5ce86029-3c2e-4e2a",
timestamp,
false,
)
```
| Field | Type | Description |
| :----------- | :---------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `balanceID` | `string` | Balance ID to query. |
| `timestamp` | `time.Time` | Point in time for the historical balance. Parse ISO 8601 strings with `time.Parse(time.RFC3339, "...")`. |
| `fromSource` | `bool` | When `true`, reconstruct from transactions instead of snapshots. |
Read `historical.Balance` for net, credit, and debit totals at the requested timestamp. Compare with the current balance if you are auditing or reconciling.
```json 200 OK wrap theme={"system"}
