How to get person_id from currently logged in user in API? (eventfrontier.com)

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?

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

Maybe that will do it.

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