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!
