# Get User Info

Provides publicly available information about someone with a GitHub account.

GitHub Apps with the `Plan` user permission can use this endpoint to retrieve information about a user's GitHub plan. The GitHub App must be authenticated as a user. See "[Identifying and authorizing users for GitHub Apps](https://docs.github.com/apps/building-github-apps/identifying-and-authorizing-users-for-github-apps/)" for details about authentication. For an example response, see 'Response with GitHub plan information' below"

The `email` key in the following response is the publicly visible email address from your GitHub [profile page](https://github.com/settings/profile). When setting up your profile, you can select a primary email address to be “public” which provides an email entry for this endpoint. If you do not set a public email address for `email`, then it will have a value of `null`. You only see publicly visible email addresses when authenticated with GitHub. For more information, see [Authentication](https://docs.github.com/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#authentication).

The Emails API enables you to list all of your email addresses, and toggle a primary email to be visible publicly. For more information, see "[Emails API](https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/users#emails)".
