How Can Stellar Address Balances Be Calculated Efficiently?

Hello there,

I am working on a project that involves tracking Stellar account balances & I want most efficient method to retrieve this information.

I have heard about using the Stellar Horizon API & Stellar blockchain explorers but I am not sure about the best approach for automation & accuracy.

How do I effectively use the Stellar Horizon API to get account balances programmaticaly? Are there any best practices or common pitfall to be aware of??

Are there any particular Stellar blockchain explorers you suggest for real time balance checks and data accuracy??

As well, I found these resources when doing research on this; https://forum.norestforthewicked.com/t/enemy-projectiles-needs-to-be-addressedlearn-looker if anyone have any resources, tutorials or personal experiences please share with me, It would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you… :blush:
