# Step 3: Retrieve Your User Information

Now that you have your user ID and authentication token from [Step 2](https://developer.rocket.chat/apidocs/step-2-authenticate-your-user) you can retrieve your profile details using the [**Get User’s Info**](https://developer.rocket.chat/apidocs/get-users-info) endpoint.

On the Get User’s Info page, enter the following parameters under **Parameters** in the *Try it!* panel:

- `X-User-ID`: Your user ID.
- `X-Auth-Token`: Your authentication token.
- `userId`: The ID of the user whose information you want to retrieve (your own).

Click **Try it!** The response will return your user profile information.
