    This could be a number of issues. Can you share the code snippet that calls the endpoint, and the full text of the error output?

    Error in call to API function "users/get_current_account": Must provide HTTP header "Authorization" or URL parameter "authorization".

    public async Task<string> Httpclient(string link)
    {
    HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
    HttpResponseMessage response= await client.GetAsync(link);
    return await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
    }

    You're using a URL parameter named "access_token", but per the error message that should instead be named "authorization". (Or, you can use an Authorization header.)
