How to get person_id from currently logged in user in API? (eventfrontier.com)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

After getting a LoginResponse from the Lemmy API, it returns an auth JWT token.

I'm trying to figure out how I can get that users person_id or username so I can make a GetPersonDetails request for the currently logged in user.

Any ideas on how to do this?

This doesn't work either. Only passing in an auth parameter into GetPersonDetails is not valid and returns an error.

Oh strange I would assume you would want to either include the id or the username, whatever the documentation asks for. You can also always just use the GetSite endpoint and GetSiteResponse.my_user
