The acct URI scheme is a proposed internet standard published by the Internet Engineering 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]
Example
The following is an example of an acct URI:
acct:juliet%40capulet.example@shoppingsite.example
