After getting a LoginResponse from the Lemmy API, it returns an auth JWT token.

I’m trying to figure out how I can get that users person_id or username so I can make a GetPersonDetails request for the currently logged in user.

Any ideas on how to do this?

    You’ll want to save the JWT and then use it as the auth parameter for GetPersonDetails

    Successful Login automatically initiates a GetSite operation, which contains person_id:

    op.data.my_user.local_user_view.local_user.person_id

    and username:

    op.data.my_user.local_user_view.person.name

    That will do it.

      I was looking at that, but it didn’t seem to be the person_id of my user.

      It looks like maybe local_user_id is different than person_id?
