Step 3: Using APIs with OAuth access tokens

Since Yext account IDs provided in API responses are customer-settable and not unique globally, the Yext APIs accept the me macro in the place of an account ID to access resources. Used in conjunction with an OAuth access token, API requests will resolve the me macro to the associated account. For example:

GET https://api.yextapis.com/v2/accounts/me/locations?access_token=&v=

App-Specific Account ID

The app-specific account ID cannot be used in place of the me macro.
