I pull user profile data via Discourse API with the Python requests module.

After my Discourse instance update to 3.4.0.beta3, certain users are shown as `'profile_hidden': True` when I make the API request, even though their “hide my public profile and presence features” setting is disabled.

I suspect it has to do with the update of **[Restricting profile visibility of low Trust level users](https://meta.discourse.org/t/3-4-0-beta3-check-for-updates-on-what-s-new-page-filter-by-user-in-the-review-queue-threading-in-chat-dms-and-group-chats-and-more/343237#p-1672182-restricting-profile-visibility-of-low-trust-level-users-8)**.

How do I continue to pull user data via Discourse API? Is there a way in my API request to tell the Discourse server that I am an admin, not an anonymous user? Typing `/u/{username}.json` in the browser still shows all the information of the user.

Thank you! 🙏
