GET
Get an account
Returns the same fixed account representation as Search accounts: profile facts, public counters, and bounded publishing interpretation.

Behavior worth knowing

  • Use this operation to dereference an embedded seven-field author summary. This is the intended way to get biography, counters, niches, and freshness.
  • A confirmed-private account may still return its current public profile facts with is_private: true. Every post-derived publishing field is then null.
  • A fully unobservable, deactivated, or deleted account returns a problem object rather than a frozen snapshot.
Field semantics and the two-truths model: reading the results. Errors: full catalog.
