# Get the current profile
> Which identity is holding this token: a person, an API key, or the system.
Answers "who am I?" for the token in your hand. A [profile](/docs/) is an identity inside an [account](/docs/api-reference/accountservice/retrieves-the-current-account-for-the-token-accessing-the-api), and this returns the one the current credential belongs to.
```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
const profile = await client.profiles.whoami();
console.log(profile.spec.type); // 'PROFILE_TYPE_API_KEY'
console.log(profile.spec.name); // 'Global API Key'
console.log(profile.spec.email); // 'apikey@cadenya.internal'
```
```go Go theme={null}
profile, err := client.Profiles.Whoami(ctx)
if err != nil {
panic(err.Error())
}
fmt.Println(profile.Spec.Type) // "PROFILE_TYPE_API_KEY"
fmt.Println(profile.Spec.Name) // "Global API Key"
fmt.Println(profile.Spec.Email) // "apikey@cadenya.internal"
```
```ruby Ruby theme={null}
profile = cadenya.profiles.whoami
puts profile.spec.type # "PROFILE_TYPE_API_KEY"
puts profile.spec.name # "Global API Key"
puts profile.spec.email # "apikey@cadenya.internal"
```
```bash cURL theme={null}
curl "https://api.cadenya.com/v1/whoami" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${CADENYA_API_KEY}"
```
Account-scoped, so there is no `workspaceId` in the path.
## The four profile types
`spec.type` tells you what kind of identity signed the request:
| Type | Who |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `PROFILE_TYPE_USER` | A person, from an interactive login |
| `PROFILE_TYPE_API_KEY` | An [API key](/docs/api-reference/accountservice/retrieves-the-current-account-for-the-token-accessing-the-api), a machine credential |
| `PROFILE_TYPE_SYSTEM` | Cadenya itself, on internal operations |
| `PROFILE_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED` | Never returned |
A key's profile has a synthetic `email` (`apikey@cadenya.internal`) and the key's name. A person's profile carries their real name and email. The `type` is how a tool decides whether it is acting for a human or a service.
## The identity trio
`whoami` is one of three account-scoped reads that together answer "who am I and what can I touch":
| Question | Endpoint |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Which identity? | `whoami` |
| Which account? | [Get the account](/docs/api-reference/accountservice/retrieves-the-current-account-for-the-token-accessing-the-api) |
| Which workspaces? | [List workspaces](/docs/api-reference/workspaceservice/list-workspaces) |
A profile moves between workspaces in an account without a fresh invite, so `whoami` names the identity and `List workspaces` names its reach. The `createdBy` you see on resources across the API is a profile of one of these types.

description: Production server
security:
- bearerAuth: []
tags:
- name: AIProviderKeyService
- name: APIKeyService
description: |-
Issue, rotate, disable, and revoke a workspace's API keys. Every key
belongs to exactly one workspace; the system-managed global account key is
managed via GlobalAPIKeyService instead.
- name: AccountService
description: >-
Manage the authenticated account. Accounts are the top-level
organizational
unit and contain one or more workspaces.
- name: AgentScheduleService
description: >-
Manage recurring schedules attached to agents. Schedules trigger
objectives
on a cadence defined by AgentScheduleSpec.Schedule.
- name: AgentService
description: >-
Manage AI agents within a workspace. Agents define AI behavior and tool
access.
- name: AgentVariationService
description: >-
Manage variations of an agent and their tool, sub-agent, and memory layer
assignments.
- name: GlobalAPIKeyService
description: |-
Manage the account's system-provisioned global API key. The global key is
the only key that spans every workspace; it is created by the system and
cannot be deleted, so the surface is retrieve, rotate, and the
disable/enable kill switch.
- name: MemoryService
description: >-
Manage memory layers and their entries. Layers are named containers that
can
be composed into an objective's memory cascade; entries are the keyed values
within a layer. System-managed layers (e.g., episodic layers created by the
runtime) cannot be mutated through this API.
- name: ModelService
description: |-
Manage LLM models available to a workspace. Models represent provider and
family pairs (e.g., "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6"). Workspaces are seeded
with the supported models and you can enable or disable each one.
- name: ObjectiveEventStreamsService
- name: ObjectiveService
- name: ProfilesService
description: |-
Operations on profiles, the account-level principals (users, API keys,
system) that authenticate against the API.
- name: SearchService
- name: TenantService
description: >-
Read and erase tenants and the subjects under them. Tenants and subjects
are
created by assertion — on objective creation or widget session mint — never
directly, so this service has no create or update: it exists to enumerate what
assertions have produced, and to destroy it on request.
- name: ToolService
description: >-
Manage tool sets and the tools they contain. Tool sets group related
tools,
and tools define specific capabilities available to agents.
When a tool set is managed, only API key actors can modify its tools; human
(profile) actors cannot.
- name: UploadService
description: |-
Issue short-lived presigned URLs for direct client-to-object-storage
uploads. Created uploads can be referenced by id when creating or updating
resources that accept binary content (e.g., MemoryEntry).
- name: WidgetService
description: |-
Manage embeddable chat widgets. A widget binds an agent to a globally
unique hostname with a per-widget origin allowlist; browsers reach it with
session tokens minted via WidgetSessionService.
- name: WidgetSessionService
description: >-
Mint and manage widget sessions. Session creation is server-to-server
only:
the customer's backend authenticates its visitor, asserts tenant/subject
context, attaches any per-visitor secrets, and receives a short-lived
bearer token the browser uses against the widget host.
- name: WorkspaceAdminService
description: >-
Administer workspaces across the account: create and archive workspaces
and
manage their membership. These operations are account-scoped and require the
admin role (a token whose profile holds the WorkOS admin role); they live
under /v1/account/workspaces rather than the workspace-scoped /v1/workspaces
tree so an admin can manage any workspace in the account, including ones they
are not themselves a member of.
- name: WorkspaceSecretService
- name: WorkspaceService
description: |-
Manage workspaces within an account. Workspaces provide organizational
grouping and isolation for resources such as agents, tools, and API keys.
This is the workspace-scoped, end-user surface. Administrative operations
(create / archive workspaces, manage members) live in WorkspaceAdminService
under /v1/account/workspaces and require the admin role.

The `Status` type defines a logical error model that is suitable for
different programming environments, including REST APIs and RPC APIs. It
is used by [gRPC](https://github.com/grpc). Each `Status` message
contains three pieces of data: error code, error message, and error
details. You can find out more about this error model and how to work
with it in the [API Design
