Hi @janardhan,

 

You can use the Get Current User REST API.

 

A cURL example would be (don’t forget to replace {access_token} by your access_token)

Query:

curl --request GET \
  --url https://api.miro.com/v1/users/me \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}'

Response:

{
  "type" : "user",
  "id" : "xxx",
  "name" : "Anthony Roux",
  "createdAt" : "2021-04-01T09:35:41Z",
  "company" : "Miro",
  "role" : "developer",
  "industry" : null,
  "email" : "xx@miro.com",
  "state" : "registered",
  "picture" : {
    "type" : "picture",
    "imageUrl" : "xxx",
    "id" : "xxx"
  }
}

 

Regards,

Anthony

@janardhan -

Are you referring to a development method via Miro’s API or a native command? If you mean natively I don’t believe there’s any way to see user e-mail addresses in a board, but assuming you have access to the team’s Active Users view (by clicking on the team “gear” icon in the Dashboard) you could see their e-mail addresses under their user names in the list of users.

@janardhan - It does seem like you are referring to using the Miro Developer Platform, therefore I am moving this post to the Developer Platform and APIs category.

As @Kiron Bondale mentioned, the currentUser email will not be stored in the board, otherwise anyone could see this using a browser’s developer tools. It is my limited understanding that you would use the SDK to get the object creator’s ID and then I assume you could use the REST API to get more user details - more info on this can be found in the developer platform documentation.
