Acct (protocol)

The acct URI scheme is a proposed internet standard published by the Internet Engineers Task Force, defined by RFC 7565. The purpose of the scheme is to identify, rather than interact, with user accounts hosted by a service provider.^[1] This scheme differs from the DNS name which specifies the service provider.^[2]

The “acct” URI was intended to be the single URI scheme that would return information /about/ a person (or possibly a thing) that holds an account at a given domain.^[3]
