# User Identity

## Overview

The `/v1/meta/users/me` endpoint is designed to retrieve the current authenticated user's information.

## Authentication

To access all these endpoint, the request must include a valid form of Authentication through one of the available [Authentication Modes](/user-management/api/email-password#authentication-modes). All examples below use the Bearer Token Authentication Mode to demonstrate their usage but in some cases it might be simpler to use the Cookie Authentication Mode. The Authentication used should be of the end-user whose information is to be worked with.​

## Get User Info

### Example Request

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash curl theme={null}
    curl --location 'https://my-project.fastgenapp.com/v1/meta/users/me' \

  ```

  ```python python theme={null}
  import requests

  url = 'https://my-project.fastgenapp.com/v1/meta/users/me'
  headers = {
      'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_TOKEN',
  }

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

  print(response.json())
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Example Response
