# Get Account

> Returns account details. Requires an account-scoped key (`mfx_acct_...`).



## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi.json get /account
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: mintfax API
  version: '1.0'
  description: >-
    Developer-first fax API. Send faxes with a single API call.


    ## Authentication


    Most endpoints require a Bearer token in the `Authorization` header.


    - **Account keys** (`mfx_acct_...`) access account-level endpoints
    (`/account`, `/account/balance`, `/account/transactions`, `/account/keys`).

    - **Environment keys** (`mfx_test_...` for test, `mfx_live_...` for live)
    access operational endpoints (`/environment`, `/faxes`, `/webhooks`,
    `/events`).

    - Registration endpoints (`POST /account/register` and `POST
    /account/register/verify`) do not require authentication.


    ## Base URL


    All API requests use `https://api.mintfax.com/v1` as the base URL.
