# GET Get the authenticated store

Identify the store your API key belongs to. Call this first: it confirms the key works, tells you which store you are operating on, whether the store runs on the `shopify` or `universal` platform, its current subscription plan, and the scopes your key grants — so you know which operations are available before calling them. The operation is read-only, has no side effects, and is always safe to retry. Requires the `store:read` scope. 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 with a chosen set of scopes and an optional expiry. A 401 problem response means the key is missing, invalid, or expired — create or re-copy the key. A 403 problem response with code `insufficient_scope` means the key is valid but lacks a required scope: the problem's `required_scopes` and `granted_scopes` members say which scope is missing and what the key can do; create a key that includes the required scope. 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.
