Access user account

If you are creating professional or bespoke accounts, you will have to create the accounts manually.

First, let’s get all accounts associated to the user:

1

curl -X \
  --request GET \
  --url "https://alpha.api.pocket-portfolio.com/object/account/list" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}"

You should receive an array populated with universally unique identifiers (RFC 4122 complaint) to the user accounts.

  "059cc47f-b1f3-490b-ac1f-dd3e1457297d",
  "ff598b1b-86fe-45fe-8b8f-27fe6e8dc7f2"
]

export \
  USER_ACCOUNT_ID="059cc47f-b1f3-490b-ac1f-dd3e1457297d" \
  USER_SANDBOX_ACCOUNT_ID="ff598b1b-86fe-45fe-8b8f-27fe6e8dc7f2"

Check account status:

curl -X \
  --request GET \
  --url "https://alpha.api.pocket-portfolio.com/object/account/status" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}"

You should see two accounts; the first account is the production account as indicated with the is_sandbox=false flag–which you’ll be billed for, and the second account is the sandbox account, which you can use as an isolated, non-billable environment to test different resources (AIs).

Account is not yet verified!

You may notice that the account is_verified is still in the false state. Most Pocket endpoints will be unavailable until the user has completed verification. At which point, once the user’s identity is verified, the account will be marked true.

Get account details:
