## Definitions

### `dev.knotless.getOwnProfile`

**Type**: `query`

The asking account's dev.knotless.profile record, as its settings show it: only what it set on knotless, with nothing of its Bluesky profile, which stands in for each field left out (dev.knotless.getProfile shows the two together). Requires authentication: a service token, or the session cookie the pages' login sets.

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

#### Errors

- **AuthenticationRequired**: No account asks.

### `dev.knotless.getOwnProfile#ownProfile`

**Type**: `object`

What an account's knotless profile holds. A field it left out is absent.

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `avatar` | `string` (uri) | No | Where this appview serves the account's picture. |
| `description` | `string` | No | Free text about the account: its bio. |
| `displayName` | `string` | No | The name shown over the account's handle. |
| `links` | `array` | No | Links shown on the profile, in display order. |
| `pronouns` | `string` | No | Free-form pronouns text. |
