Currently, users face challenges in accurately determining token balances due to the absence of decimal details in the `/tokens` and `/account/{idOrAliasOrEvmAddress}/tokens` endpoints. This proposal aims to reduce the number of API calls needed and streamline the process of retrieving comprehensive token information. +This HIP proposes an enhancement (with backwards compatibility) to the Hedera REST API to include decimal information in the token balance queries. Currently, users face challenges in accurately determining token balances due to the absence of decimal details in the `/tokens`, `/api/v1/tokens/{tokenId}/balances`, and `/account/{idOrAliasOrEvmAddress}/tokens` endpoints. This proposal aims to reduce the number of API calls needed and streamline the process of retrieving comprehensive token information. ### Motivation This HIP, aligned with [HIP-367](hip-367.md)'s initiative to deprecate HAPI queries, seeks to ensure that mirror node APIs offer comparable functionality. Retrieving token balance information without decimal details currently necessitates multiple API calls, leading to inefficiencies and a heightened computational load. By integrating decimal details into balance queries, this proposal aims to streamline the process, significantly reducing the time, cost, and complexity involved, crucial for accurate token balance determination.
