200-901 Cisco Platforms and Development Practice Question
A developer wants to get the current user's information from the Webex API. Which endpoint should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is confusing resource endpoints (messages, rooms, webhooks) with the identity endpoint; candidates might pick a familiar resource but forget that 'me' is the canonical way to get the current user.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
GET /v1/people/me
The Webex API endpoint GET /v1/people/me returns the profile information of the authenticated user, which is exactly what the developer needs. It uses the OAuth token of the current user to identify 'me'. Other endpoints serve different resources like messages, webhooks, or rooms.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
GET /v1/people/me
Why this is correct
GET /v1/people/me returns the authenticated user's own profile, identified by the access token, so no user ID is needed. Other people endpoints require an explicit personId, making them unsuitable for retrieving the current user's information.
- ✗
POST /v1/messages
Why it's wrong here
POST /v1/messages creates a new message in a room; it neither retrieves nor returns user profile data, and uses POST rather than GET. It is tempting as a familiar Webex endpoint, and would be correct when sending a notification to a space.
- ✗
GET /v1/webhooks
Why it's wrong here
GET /v1/webhooks returns registered webhook subscriptions for the authenticated account, not the current user's identity. It is tempting because it is a valid GET collection endpoint, and would be correct when auditing or listing existing event notification registrations.
- ✗
GET /v1/rooms
Why it's wrong here
GET /v1/rooms lists Webex meeting rooms, returning room metadata rather than the authenticated user's own profile. It is tempting because it is a genuine GET endpoint on the same API version, and would be correct for enumerating available collaboration spaces.
