## Returns

- `type BetaUserProfile`

  A record of an entity that the platform serves through the API, such as an end-user of the platform's product or a company that the platform resells Claude access to.

  A Messages, Message Batches or token counting request can send a profile's `id` in the `anthropic-user-profile-id` header to attribute the request to that entity.

  - `Type BetaUserProfileType`

    Object type. Always `user_profile`.

  - `ID string`

    Unique identifier for this user profile, prefixed `uprof_`.

  - `CreatedAt Time`

    When this user profile was created, in RFC 3339 format.

    format: date-time

  - `Metadata map[string, string]`

    Arbitrary key-value metadata. Maximum 16 pairs, keys up to 64 chars, values up to 512 chars.

  - `TrustGrants map[string, BetaUserProfileTrustGrant]`

    Trust grants for this profile, keyed by grant name. Key omitted when no grant is active or in flight.

    - `Status BetaUserProfileTrustGrantStatus`

      Status of the trust grant.

      - `const BetaUserProfileTrustGrantStatusActive BetaUserProfileTrustGrantStatus = "active"`

      - `const BetaUserProfileTrustGrantStatusPending BetaUserProfileTrustGrantStatus = "pending"`

      - `const BetaUserProfileTrustGrantStatusRejected BetaUserProfileTrustGrantStatus = "rejected"`

  - `UpdatedAt Time`

    When this user profile was last modified, in RFC 3339 format. Trust-grant status changes also bump this timestamp.

    format: date-time

  - `AccessType BetaUserProfileAccessType Optional`

    How the platform uses the API for this entity: `application` (default) or `passthrough`. Present under the `user-profiles-2026-08-18` and later beta headers.

    - `const BetaUserProfileAccessTypeApplication BetaUserProfileAccessType = "application"`

      The user profile represents an individual end-user of a product that the platform builds on the API. New profiles get this value by default.

    - `const BetaUserProfileAccessTypePassthrough BetaUserProfileAccessType = "passthrough"`

      The user profile represents a company that the platform resells Claude access to.

  - `ExternalID string Optional`

    Platform's own identifier for this user. Not enforced unique. Present under the `user-profiles-2026-03-24` and `user-profiles-2026-08-18` beta headers; under `user-profiles-2026-09-04` the value is `external_user_details.reference_id`.

  - `ExternalUserDetails BetaUserProfileExternalUserDetails Optional`

    Details about the entity this profile represents, as the platform states them; not verified by Anthropic. Present under the `user-profiles-2026-09-04` beta header, with every field present and `null` until the platform supplies a value; the earlier beta headers serve `reference_id` as the top-level `external_id`, and `user-profiles-2026-08-18` serves `onboarded_at` as `external_user_onboarded_at`.

    - `AccountStatus BetaUserProfileExternalUserDetailsAccountStatus`

      The status of the entity's account on the platform: `active`, `suspended` or `blocked`. `null` until the platform supplies one.

      - `const BetaUserProfileExternalUserDetailsAccountStatusActive BetaUserProfileExternalUserDetailsAccountStatus = "active"`

        The platform has neither restricted nor barred the account of the entity that the user profile represents.

      - `const BetaUserProfileExternalUserDetailsAccountStatusSuspended BetaUserProfileExternalUserDetailsAccountStatus = "suspended"`

        The platform has restricted the account of the entity that the user profile represents and may restore it.

      - `const BetaUserProfileExternalUserDetailsAccountStatusBlocked BetaUserProfileExternalUserDetailsAccountStatus = "blocked"`

        The platform has barred the account of the entity that the user profile represents.

      - `const BetaUserProfileExternalUserDetailsEntityTypeGovernment BetaUserProfileExternalUserDetailsEntityType = "government"`

    - `NameHash string`

      The platform-computed hash of the entity's name. `null` until the platform supplies one.

    - `OnboardedAt Time`

      When the entity opened its account with the platform, as stated by the platform, in RFC 3339 format (UTC). `null` until the platform supplies one.

      format: date-time

    - `ReferenceID string`

      The platform's own reference for the entity. `null` until the platform supplies one.

  - `ExternalUserOnboardedAt Time Optional`

    When the entity this profile represents opened its account with the platform, as stated by the platform, in RFC 3339 format (UTC). `null` until the platform supplies one.

    format: date-time
