How to read the ETH value and other token values from an account?

Question

Let's say I've created an account using this code as explained in docs:

web3.eth.accounts.create();
> {
    address: "0xb8CE9ab6943e0eCED004cDe8e3bBed6568B2Fa01",
    privateKey: "0x348ce564d427a3311b6536bbcff9390d69395b06ed6c486954e971d960fe8709",
    signTransaction: function(tx){...},
    sign: function(data){...},
    encrypt: function(password){...}
}

How do I connect (unlock) to that account later and see all the ETH and other tokens it contains?

Answer 1

To get the Ether Balance use web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(acct), "ether")

The following links might give a guide on checking token balance.
