get /me

Get me

Alias endpoint, returns the current user’s node. This is equivalent to GET /<uuid> for the authenticated user’s own id, and is especially useful to find out that id, e.g. to use it when creating new relations, without already knowing it.

If no token is supplied, the request is treated as the default anonymous user.

Request

curl \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer secret-token:PIPeJGUt7c00ENn8a5uDlc' \
  https://api.example.com/me
import requests


url = "https://api.example.com/me"


headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer secret-token:PIPeJGUt7c00ENn8a5uDlc"}

const url = 'https://api.example.com/me';
const options = {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer secret-token:PIPeJGUt7c00ENn8a5uDlc'}
};


try {
  const response = await fetch(url, options);
