`cardano-cli` itself has no concept of wallet.

You can ask what currently is at a single address with `cardano-cli query utxo --mainnet --address addr1…`.

But getting all addresses of your wallet would be a task for `cardano-wallet` and/or `cardano-address`.

Thanks for your answer, at the moment I am just testing and I would like to be able to check the balance of adas of my wallet by terminal. Should I use cardano-wallet?

Haven’t used them myself, but my thoughts would be:

`cardano-wallet` is running as a server. I somehow don’t like that. If I’m using CLI, I want to have it small and simple. That’s why I’m using CLI.

So, I’d rather look at `cardano-address`. I’m not aware of a good tutorial for that, though.  
[https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-addresses](https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-addresses) might get you started.

I suggest trying [stakepool\_python\_tools/balance.py at main · Josef3110/stakepool\_python\_tools · GitHub](https://github.com/Josef3110/stakepool_python_tools/blob/main/scripts/balance.py) which is a wrapper around cardano-cli in python.

It does not take digits definition into account but works pretty nice.

Thanks for your answer, I finally found this shortcut in pool.pm and made the following script to query revenue [https://pool.pm/wallet/$Address](https://pool.pm/wallet/%24Address)

```auto
import os
import json
from time import sleep

while(True):
    wallet = os.popen("curl https://pool.pm/wallet/$Address").read()
    json_final = round(json.loads(wallet)["lovelaces"]/1000000,2)
    print(f"En la cuenta hay {json_final} adas")
    print("Dormiremos 60 segundos antes de volver a consultar")
    sleep(60)

```

Later I will look carefully at what you sent me that seems very interesting
