### Build withdrawal transaction 

Please note only free balances are able to withdraw from the current hydra cycle. [#free-and-locked-balances](https://docs.deltadefi.io/start-trading/developers/deposit-funds#free-and-locked-balances "mention")

For in-depth API details [build-withdrawal-transaction](https://docs.deltadefi.io/start-trading/developers/api-documentation/account/build-withdrawal-transaction "mention")

In the following example we're withdrawing 10 Ada, equivalent  to 10\_000\_000 lovelace.

{% tab title="curl" %}

```sh
curl --location 'https://api-staging.deltadefi.io/accounts/withdrawal/build' \
--header 'x-api-key: <your_api_key>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
	"withdrawal_amount": [
		{
			"unit": "lovelace",
			"quantity": "1000000"
		},
	]
}'
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="NodeJs (axios)" %}

```javascript
const axios = require('axios');
let data = JSON.stringify({
  "withdrawal_amount": [
    {
      "unit": "lovelace",
      "quantity": "1000000"
    },
  ]

  headers: { 
    'x-api-key': '<your_api_key>',

  },
  data : data
};

axios.request(config)
.then((response) => {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
})
.catch((error) => {
  console.log(error);
});

```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Go" %}

```go
package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "strings"
  "net/http"
  "io"

func main() {

  url := "https://api-staging.deltadefi.io/accounts/withdrawal/build"

  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
    return
