account.account_id #

This specifies the internal Cronofy ID for the account, ASCII-only String with a fixed length of 28 characters.

account.email #

The primary email address associated with the account as a String.

When the account is a Service Account, this value may represent a username instead of a full email address. For example, when authenticating a Service Account via Active Directory username and password.

account.name #

The name associated with the account as a String. May be null or blank.

account.scope #

This specifies the scope granted for the account for the active authorization as a space-separated String in order to mimic how it is provided during an Authorization Request.

account.default_tzid #

A String representing a known time zone identifier from the IANA Time Zone Database.

Common examples are:

Etc/UTC
Europe/Paris
America/Chicago

The default time zone is extracted on a best-effort basis from the underlying providers. We do not receive default time zone information from all providers and so the account’s default time zone may be returned with a time zone identifier of Etc/UTC.

As providers expose this data, or we implement deeper integrations with their platforms, the time zone data available to you will be improved without changes being required to your code.

sub #

This specifies the internal Cronofy ID for the account, ASCII-only String with a fixed length of 28 characters.

Error responses #

401 Unauthorized #

The request was refused as the provided authentication credentials were not recognized.

When an OAuth refresh_token is available then it should be used to request a replacement auth_token before the request is retried.
