Get user's account info

[Alex_Shekunsky]

Hi!

I need help.

How i can get linked user's dropbox account info (name/email) in Objective-c by API v2 ?

In v1 i did this by 

[self.restClient loadAccountInfo];

in method:

- (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client loadedAccountInfo:(DBAccountInfo*)info

Thanks!

If you're using the API v2 Objective-C SDK, the equivalent method is getCurrentAccount:

https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-obj-c/api-docs/latest/Classes/DBUSERSRoutes.html#/c:objc(cs)DB...

Here's an example of how you would make an "RPC-style" request like that (for creating a folder in this case):

Xcode should auto-complete most of the boilerplate code for you though.

Thank you very much!

If you have a DBUserClient object (e.g. from [DBClientsManager authorizedClient]), you can get the info for that account with this call:

[[client.usersRoutes getCurrentAccount] setResponseBlock:^(DBUSERSFullAccount * _Nullable result, DBNilObject * _Nullable routeError, DBRequestError * _Nullable networkError)
{
	if (networkError != nil)
	{
		NSLog(@"getCurrentAccount failed: network error");
	}
	else if (routeError != nil)
	{
		NSLog(@"getCurrentAccount failed: route error");
	}
	else
	{
		NSLog(@"got Dropbox account email: %@", result.email);
	}
}];
