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.
