REST API call to get the user's real name

There does not seem to be a REST API call for Amazon Cloud Drive that gives the full name of the logged in user. Such as the top right corner of this forum (or any Amazon site for that matter including cloud drive) I have: "Welcome, Ronald W." Is there such an API? If not is this omission by design and if so what is the reason? Many thanks, Ronnie

Hi Ronnie, Welcome to dev forums and thanks for posting! Yes, that's possible, but it's not a call to Cloud Drive APIs. Cloud Drive only deals with the customer ID and its related data. Getting customer information like that is different scope that is handled by LWA (Login With Amazon). You can read about it and get started here: https://developer.amazon.com/public/apis/engage/login-with-amazon/docs/customer_profile.html
