GET /v1/whoami is the smallest useful check of your API-key setup. It returns the project, environment, and key metadata associated with the credential you sent. It does not exercise a mandate or move value.

​
Use a key from your server

Follow create a local test project first. In your terminal, set GOL_API_KEY to the test secret you copied. Keep the secret out of source files, browser code, shell history, screenshots, and logs. Then send the request to your local platform:
A successful response identifies the project and shows "environment": "test". The apiKey object includes the key name, a non-secret hint, and its scopes. It does not return the key secret.

​
Check the result

Confirm the project name is the one you created and the scopes are the ones you selected. If they differ, stop and check which key your server loaded. If the request fails, see troubleshooting and the error guide. Your successful request should also appear in the project’s audit history in the local console. That history is an operational record of the developer credential, not evidence of a payment.
