How to get email from dropbox api v2 using swift

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to grab the email from a users account. I am currently able to log into dropbox properly, but cant seem to find information on this.

I am also using flutter.

 

dropBoxChannel.setMethodCallHandler({
[weak self] (call: FlutterMethodCall, result: FlutterResult) -> Void in
guard call.method == "retrieveAccount" else {
result(FlutterMethodNotImplemented)
return
}
 
 
//result(DropboxClient.users.getCurrentAccount());
})
 
I noticed someone mention DropboxClient.users.getCurrentAccount() was one way, but I am new to Swift and don't really understand how this could work. Also, where can I find more information about this?

    func RetrieveEmail() {
        let client = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient!
        print(client.users.getCurrentAccount())
        let Dropboxclient = client.users.getCurrentAccount()
        Dropboxclient.response { ( result, error) in
              print(result?.email ?? "test")
        }
    }

     

    For those who need an answer later on.

  • The developer documentation would be a good place to get more info. Specifically, the users/get_current_account endpoint has more information about the response object (which does contain the account's email address). 

    If you're using the Swift Dropbox SDK, then the Swift-specific docs might also come in handy. Here's a link to the getCurrentAccount() method. 

    Hope that helps!
