How to get `person_id` from currently logged in user in API?

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

This doesn't work either. Only passing in an auth parameter into GetPersonDetails is not valid and returns an error.

Oh strange I would assume you would want to either include the id or the username, whatever the documentation asks for. You can also always just use the GetSite endpoint and GetSiteResponse.my_user

I havent tried, but usually a JWT contains some sort of user ID
