# Get My Profile

> Retrieve the profile information of the authenticated account.

## Overview

Returns the full profile data for the account associated with the provided `account_id`. No additional parameters are needed beyond the required `account_id` and `action`.

For a **WhatsApp** account, returns the linked number's profile instead: see the `200 (WhatsApp)` example.

<Note>This endpoint consumes **1 credit** per request. Ignore this if you're on per-seat pricing: usage is unlimited.</Note>
