How to query a wallet into finding out how much $$ it has

[Jamie_Boulder]

Does anyone know how I can achieve this? briefly had a look through blockchain but not sure where to start...

wallet = private + public(s) adresse(s)
you can only view the public adress balance.

if user don't have transmit bitcoin from public 1 to public 2 ... you can't known that public 1 and public 2 is the same wallet at the end.

Its not possible for wallets*, but for addresses. I made a little java tool [1] a while back (sadly for an idiot, but maybe it can help you) that takes a list of addresses, checks blockchain.info's API for the balance and writes it into a file. You could use that to get the balances for each of your addresses and make a sum of the result to know how much BTC is in your wallet. But honestly, why does your wallet client not show the amount of BTC you have?

*wallets do not exist on a protocol level, but are an abstraction to help humans handle multiple addresses and keys.

Thanks Shorena!

simply add ?currency=USD at the end of your blockchain/info address search. for example i searched a random address on the lask block mined and it showed the USD total

if you want to easily navigate through different currencies there is a currency selection box at the bottom footer of blockchain.info

There is a currency selection box at the bottom footer of blockchain.info simply change the currency and its done, okay.
