# Knowing your account

The first thing to know when using the Account API is your account UUID! This is simple, you just need to call the `/api/v1/accounts` endpoint with the `GET` verb and, as account id, simply `me.`

So click the "Try it out" button, populate the UUID field with "me" and click the blue button "Execute":

![](/files/-MBkaZ7pYdZbCXlLEQkl)

If you are not logged in, you will get the "default" account (an virtual account which is used for not loggedin user) which has a very specific UUID:

```
  "uuid": "defadefa-defa-defa-defa-defadefadefa",
```

However, if you are logged in, you will obtain the UUID of your account!
