A single request can obtain almost all the information about the logged in user's account. Administrators can update this information using Syncd's web interface, but not via the API.

Request

GET /info/account.xml

Optional parameters

Use the following optional parameters to control which information is included in the response:

include=[all,
         billing_settings,
         time_settings,
         expense_settings,
         user_settings,
         currencies,
         job_types]

For instance, the following request will get all available information about the account:

GET /info/account.xml?include=all

Response

Status: 200 OK
