Is there a way to determine the user ID of the user who is authenticated? It would be very helpful in being able to show my tickets without having the force the user to select themselves from a list.

   I believe the way you'd get the current logged in user's details based on their API key is to use the query responsible:me.

   Let me know if you have more questions.

   Thanks,
   Nicole

   If I understand you correctly then there is api support call to get the current user? The correct steps would be to request tickets, do a search for responsible until you find a me (if any tickets are assigned to the logged in user), then find the userID that the ticket is assigned to?

   If you are looking for the user's tickets, just set the query to 'responsible:me'. If you're looking for the user's ID for another reason, use the token request (at the bottom of this page) - http://lighthouseapp.com/api/users
