How to retrieve the gift card balance using the Storefront API?

[Cpc_dev]

Is there a method to calculate the gift card balance and display it in my custom Next.js app using the Storefront API?

You could create a checkout with a product that costs like $1 and then apply the giftcard to it. Afterwards you'll get a checkout object that contains the applied giftcards. for each gift card you can see the amount left (add the $1 here). Just a workaround. Currently I don't think it's possible to directly query the amount left on giftcards..
