Account API

Get Account & Token Info

Returns the account profile metadata and token scope/permissions for the API token used in the request. This is useful when you manage multiple API tokens and need to identify which account a token belongs to and what permissions it has.

Authentication

Requires a valid API token. Any active token can access this endpoint regardless of its permission scope.

Example Request

curl -X GET "https://admin.vps.org/api/v1/account/me/" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

import requests

url = "https://admin.vps.org/api/v1/account/me/"
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
data = response.json()

print(f"Account: {data['account']['email']}")
print(f"Token: {data['token']['name']}")
print(f"Permissions: {data['token']['permissions']}")

const response = await fetch('https://admin.vps.org/api/v1/account/me/', {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log(`Account: ${data.account.email}`);
console.log(`Token: ${data.token.name}`);
console.log(`Permissions:`, data.token.permissions);

$ch = curl_init('https://admin.vps.org/api/v1/account/me/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [
    'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN',
    'Content-Type: application/json'
]);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
$data = json_decode($response, true);
curl_close($ch);

echo "Account: " . $data['account']['email'] . "\n";
echo "Token: " . $data['token']['name'] . "\n";
echo "Permissions: " . implode(', ', $data['token']['permissions']) . "\n";

Common Use Cases

Identify Token Owner

When managing multiple API tokens across different applications, use this endpoint to verify which account a token belongs to:

# Check which account this token is associated with
response = requests.get(
    "https://admin.vps.org/api/v1/account/me/",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_token}"}
)
account = response.json()["account"]
print(f"This token belongs to: {account['email']}")

Verify Token Permissions

Before making API calls, check what permissions the current token has:

# Check token permissions before performing an action
response = requests.get(
    "https://admin.vps.org/api/v1/account/me/",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_token}"}
)
permissions = response.json()["token"]["permissions"]

if "servers:create" in permissions or "servers:*" in permissions:
    # Token has permission to create servers
    create_server()
else:
    print("Token does not have servers:create permission")

Monitor Token Expiration

Check if your token is about to expire:

from datetime import datetime

response = requests.get(
    "https://admin.vps.org/api/v1/account/me/",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_token}"}
)
token_info = response.json()["token"]

if token_info["expires_at"]:
    expires = datetime.fromisoformat(token_info["expires_at"])
    days_left = (expires - datetime.now()).days
    if days_left < 7:
        print(f"Warning: Token expires in {days_left} days")
else:
    print("Token has no expiration date")

Permissions Reference

Permissions follow the format resource:action. Use resource:* for full access to a resource, or *:* for full API access.
