Identifiers
Most API resources support two types of identifiers in path parameters:| Type | Format | Example |
|---|---|---|
| UUID | System-generated unique ID | usr_a1b2c3d4 |
| Alias | User-chosen globally unique name | janedoe |
{user_id},
{org_id}).
The “me” Alias
User endpoints accept the special valueme as the {user_id} path parameter. It resolves
to the authenticated user’s ID before any authorization checks are applied.
me alias works with both bearer token and API key authentication.
Permissions
Access to user resources depends on whether the caller is the target user (self) or a different user (other).| Endpoint | Self | Other |
|---|---|---|
GET /users/{user_id} | Full profile | Public fields only |
PATCH /users/{user_id} | Allowed | Forbidden (403) |
GET /users/{user_id}/orgs | All organizations (public + private) | Public organizations only |
GET /users/{user_id}/limits | Allowed | Forbidden (403) |
