# GET Get the authenticated store

Identify the store your API key belongs to. Call this first: it confirms the key works and tells you which store you are operating on, whether the store runs on the `shopify` or `universal` platform, and its current subscription plan. The operation is read-only, has no side effects, and is always safe to retry. Authenticate every request with a store API key sent as a bearer token (`Authorization: Bearer <api key>`); keys are created in the merchant admin under Integrate → API Tokens. A 401 problem response means the key is missing or invalid — create or re-copy the key. A 429 problem response means too many requests: wait `retry_after` seconds, then retry. Error responses use RFC 9457 problem+json: machine-readable `code`, a documentation link in `type`, and a `request_id` to quote when contacting support.
