Get Amazon account user id

Hello,

How can I retrieve the user Amazon id of the user using the VSK during the discovery ?
Do I have to use the bearer (event>directive>payload>scope>token)?



Thanks for your reply.

Use https://api.amazon.com/user/profile?access_token=<bearer>

You can get user email either by asking user permission or by setting up account linking.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I don't have such option in permissions for Video Skill Kit, only 'Send Alexa Events' and 'Proactively Enable Alexa Skill'. The only thing I did was to select profile scope in Account Linking.

Actually I just noticed the best option is to get the userId, but the question remains the same. https://developer.amazon.com/docs/login-with-amazon/customer-profile.html#profile
