# Quickstart

> This page will show you how to make an API Request

For this quickstart, you'll use the **Details** endpoint in the **Account** Folder to retrieve the public details of an account on TMDB.

```
GET https://api.themoviedb.org/3/account/{account_id}
```

## Get your account\_id

The endpoint to fetch the account\_id is:

```
GET https://api.themoviedb.org/3/account
```

* Add the query parameter **your\_bearer\_token** to authenticate your request.

```bash theme={null}
GET https://api.themoviedb.org/3/account?bearer_token=YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN
```

Example response

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": 12345678, //Your account_id
  "name": "YourUsername",
  "include_adult": false,
  "username": "YourUsername",
  "avatar": {
    "gravatar": {
      "hash": "abc123def456ghi789"
    },
    "tmdb": {
      "avatar_path": "/path/to/avatar.jpg"
    }
  },
  "iso_639_1": "en",
  "iso_3166_1": "US"
}
```

<Note>Your account\_id is an integer value.</Note>

## Get the Account details endpoint.

```
GET https://api.themoviedb.org/3/account/{account_id}
```

**Replace the `{account_id}` with your TMDb account\_id**

To authenticate your request, include your bearer\_token as a query parameter or in the request header.

    response = requests.get(url)
