# Retrieve the account

`GET /account`

Retrieves the account associated with the API key.

## Headers

- `Accept` 'application/vnd.Creative Force.v2.3+json' | 'application/vnd.Creative Force.v2.3+xml', required
- `x-api-language` string[]

## Response `200`

Account retrieved.

- Account — Tenant-level account record describing the subscription and configuration shared by every resource within it. Each account has one owner, one product tier, a region, a timezone, and a set of enabled locales. The locale codes here are the keys used by translation maps elsewhere in the API (such as category, chapter, round, and score-set names).
  - `created` string, date-time — Time the account was created.
  - `domains` string[] — Hostnames associated with the account. Includes the primary public domain and any staging or local mirrors configured for the account.
  - `global_id` string, uuid — Globally unique identifier for the account. Stable across slug changes and consistent across the platform.
  - `languages` object[] — Locales enabled for the account. Translation maps on other resources (such as category, round, and score-set names) are keyed by these codes.
    - `code` string — Locale code, for example `en_GB` or `en_US`.
  - `name` string — Display name of the account.
  - `owner` object — User who owns the account.
    - `slug` string — Short URL-safe identifier for the owner.
    - `link` string, uri — Canonical URL for the owner resource.
    - `name` string — Full display name of the owner.
    - `first_name` string — Given name of the owner.
    - `last_name` string — Family name of the owner.
  - `product` string — Subscription plan tier the account is on. Resolved from the underlying plan code, for example `Premium`.
  - `region` string — Deployment region the account is hosted in. Two-letter region code, for example `au` or `eu`.
  - `slug` string — Short URL-safe identifier for the account.
  - `timezone` string — Timezone the account uses for date calculations. Returned as a concatenated IANA identifier without the slash separator, for example `EuropeLondon`.
  - `updated` string, date-time — Time the account record was last updated.

## Other responses

- `401` — Missing `x-api-key` header.
- `403` — Authenticated request denied. Common causes: invalid or unknown API key, suspended account, or `api` feature not enabled for the account.
