# Account API

Authenticate with a [personal token](/docs/api#personal-tokens) as `Authorization: Bearer pxp_...`; the operations are also [MCP tools](/docs/connect-ai) unless noted. The full machine-readable definition is in the [OpenAPI specification](https://pxstudio.cloud/api/v1/openapi.json).

| [Get play recommendations](#get-play-recommendations) | `GET /home/recommendations` | `account:read` |
| [Get account overview](#get-account-overview) | `GET /account` | `account:read` |
