REST API to get the logged in user details

[sahilkhanna]

I'm new to Service Now and am exploring REST APIs.

I have created a user named "Ajay". I have got the access_token of this user. I am getting the details of this user using the below request.

curl --location 'https://dev191.service-now.com/api/now/table/sys_user' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer Vmxn6CYIC...............OohTqA'

The request returns the list of all users. However, I want the request to return only the user identified in the access_token.

Maybe what you are looking for is this?
