Overview

Retrieves the profile information for the currently authenticated user. This endpoint requires a valid JWT token and returns the user’s MongoDB profile data.

​
Authentication

This endpoint requires authentication. Include a valid access token in the Authorization header. 
Authorization: Bearer <access_token>

​
Request

No request body or parameters required. The user is identified from the JWT token.

Error Responses

​
error
string
Error message describing what went wrong

​
401 Unauthorized

Returned when the access token is missing, invalid, or expired. 
{
  "error": "Invalid token"
}

​
404 Not Found

Returned when the user record doesn’t exist in MongoDB (rare case). 
{
  "error": "User not found"
}

​
500 Internal Server Error

Returned when a server error occurs. 
{
  "error": "Internal server error message"
}

​
Notes

The profile endpoint uses the JWT token to identify the user, so you don’t need to pass a user ID. Each user can only access their own profile.
This endpoint returns data from MongoDB, not Supabase. It includes the supabaseId field which links the MongoDB record to the Supabase authentication record.
