# Get current user information

> Returns information about the currently authenticated user.

**Note:** POST method is recommended for this endpoint to avoid caching issues.

**Perfect for:**
- Checking if authentication is working
- Getting user details for your app
- Validating permissions

**Security note:** Only explicitly configured fields are returned, 
never the complete user object. This prevents accidental exposure 
of sensitive user data.

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Fetchski Attract CMS API
  description: >-
    Auto-generated OpenAPI spec for this Fetchski site instance. Authenticate
    machine-to-machine requests with an API key by sending the header
    `Authorization: ApiKey <token>`. Keys are issued in the CMS (API Keys) and
    carry scopes that limit them to specific actions. Each key also has its own
    security policy, chosen when it is created: a signing mode (token only,
    signed writes, or every request signed with the key’s signing secret via
    `X-Fetchski-Timestamp` + `X-Fetchski-Signature`), an optional network
    allowlist, and reads/writes-per-minute limits (429 with `Retry-After` over
    them). Some routes require a signature from every key — see each route.

  - name: Authentication
    description: >-
      Sign in as a person to get a bearer token or a session cookie.
      Integrations use an API key instead: send `Authorization: ApiKey <token>`.
  - name: SDK Packages
    description: >-
      The site’s own npm registry and Composer repository for the Attract SDKs,
      so an app installs them with one of the site’s API keys. Point npm, pnpm,
      Bun or Composer at them; the SDKs never call them.

    description: >-
      The site’s languages: the main language’s name and every further
      language’s name, code and Public switch. A save applies at once: a new
      language gets its home page and its own addresses (/fr/…), and its pages
      are then translated with each type’s localize routes.
  - name: Page Templates
    description: >-
      The site’s whole-page starting arrangements. They are not pages of the
      site (the Pages list leaves them out for API keys): read one, then make a
      page from it with Pages → create and `_copyingId` (`copyingId` in the
      SDKs).

  - name: Conversion Events
    description: >-
      The conversion event log — one record per conversion, with its attribution
      and consent snapshot and its delivery to each ad platform. Read it
      incrementally, post facts from other systems (a reservation purchase, a
      lead outcome), and adjust them (refunds, cancellations). One event ID
      travels everywhere as the platforms’ de-duplication key.
  - name: Visitor Attribution
    description: >-
      Per-visitor attribution on this site: first touch, last ad or campaign
      touch, and the ad platforms’ browser IDs. The join other systems use to
      attach a purchase to the marketing-site journey that led to it.
  - name: Ads Metrics
    description: >-
      Aggregates for dashboards: ad-click landings and conversions, by day,
      platform, campaign and more.
  - name: Conversions
    description: >-
      Conversion definitions — the visitor actions (a lead, a call click, a
      booking, a purchase) this site reports to the ad platforms, each with a
      row per platform. Managed by administrators in the CMS.
  - name: Webhooks
    description: >-
      Push notifications of form submissions and conversion-event changes to the
      site’s Webhook Destinations — signed with each destination’s own secret,
      retried for a day, at-least-once. Set destinations up in the CMS (Webhook
      Destinations, for people granted “Manage webhook destinations”): URL,
      events, optional filters and custom headers, and the signing secret shown
      once.
  - name: Request Log
    description: >-
      The page views the site captured (Connections → Tracking → Request log),
      and the query parameters on them: campaign tags and ad click IDs.
