api-key string

NOWNodes API key passed in the api-key header.

Changed. If reading the account balance or locks from the node fails, the endpoint now returns 503 Service temporarily unavailable (safe to retry) instead of 200 with free: 0 and empty locks. An unrecognised storage layout returns 500. A 200 response is unchanged and now always reflects real on-chain data. Addresses encoded with any SS58 prefix are now accepted; before, an address from another network was rejected with 400.

Returns balance information for a given account on the relay chain.
