How to get email_address of a member of shared folder ?

I am creating an application which need email address of all members of a shared folder.

The "metadata" API call with "include_membership=true" gives member's display name and uid. Is there any way to get email address of members?

May be something like make the call as account admin ??

Thanks in advance.

    No, the API doesn't currently return email address for members of shared folders like this, but I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback.

    Thanks for quick response !!

    Is there any separate API which gives details of users if uid is provided?

    Thanks,

    No, the API does not have an endpoint for getting an arbitrary user's email address based on user ID.
