Step 1: Get a Profile

In this lesson, we’ll learn how to set up a profile id using the profiles endpoint. This endpoint does not take any parameters and returns the profile information according to the authorization provided in the request’s header.

This is the very first step when using Wise payouts API. We need our profile id to call the next API calls. Remember that personal and business accounts owned by the same user have different id values. While calling the API, we should always specify the profile id to avoid any unintentional transaction.

Note: If we do not provide a profile id when creating a resource, the created resource will be assigned to our personal profile by default.
