Super User alumniHow do I work with Client.AccountInfo?
I'm looking to check a user's email and verification status through Client.AccountInfo. I currently use a 3rd party JavaScript Core SDK, but it's syntactically the same as the Datastore JS API, at least the Common section of these docs. Anyway, I currently have a var client as a new Dropbox.Client() with the public key passed in, and a client.authenticate() to go with it. The docs are either worded weirdly, or I'm missing something, but like I said, this SDK is syntactically the same as the Common part of the linked Datastore API. client.AccountInfo.email didn't seem to work, so how would I go about doing this?

Are you by chance using https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-js? (In general, it would probably help if you told people what library you're actually using.)
Assuming you are, AccountInfo is a class. You'll need an instance of that class.
I think you're looking for code like this (completely untested):
client.getAccountInfo(function (err, accountInfo) {
if (err) {
console.log("ERROR: " + err);
}
else {
console.log("Email: " + accountInfo.email);
}
});- Andy
Yup, that's the library. Totally forgot to mention that in my post. Sorry about that.
I completely missed the .getAccountInfo() in either documentation. That seems to work perfectly!
