When calling the Whop API on behalf of a user or a company you need to first obtain permissions to do so.

Obtain permission by either:

  • embedded apps - setting your required scopes in your app’s settings in the Whop dashboard
  • standalone apps - using the scopes parameter when using Whop OAuth

Once you have obtained permissions you can use your app’s API key to make calls on behalf of the user or company.

​
Available scopes

  • read_user: Read the user’s basic details. This scope is required and will be automatically granted when users open embedded apps.
