# User

Retrieve the authenticated account's details: request quota and options-data entitlement. Requires a token.

## Making Requests

Use `GetUserAsync` on the `Utilities` resource.

```csharp
Task<UtilitiesUserResponse> GetUserAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
```

#### Returns

`UtilitiesUserResponse` wrapping a single `User` record:

```csharp
public record User(
    int RequestsRemaining,          // requests left in the current billing period
    int RequestsLimit,              // total quota for the billing period
    string OptionsDataPermissions); // "" == real-time; otherwise describes the delay
```

> [!NOTE]
> **Rate-limit state**
>
> This endpoint is also what the client calls at startup to validate your token. The rate-limit numbers the SDK tracks — including the reset time and consumed count — come from the `x-api-ratelimit-*` response headers, not from this body, and surface through [`client.LatestRateLimit`](https://www.marketdata.app/docs/sdk/csharp/client#rate-limits) and `response.RateLimit`. `User` is the typed view of the account body only.

## Examples

```csharp
using MarketDataApp;

using var client = await MarketDataClient.CreateAsync();

var user = (await client.Utilities.GetUserAsync()).Values;
Console.WriteLine($"Quota: {user.RequestsRemaining}/{user.RequestsLimit} remaining");
Console.WriteLine(string.IsNullOrEmpty(user.OptionsDataPermissions)
    ? "Options data: real-time"
    : $"Options data: {user.OptionsDataPermissions}");
```
