Current User

[Kevin]

I have tried all the examles and cant seem to get the currentuser back.  I am not using view models in my and just need a simple example.  I am using the Everlive sample template and the login seems to work ok.  I just need a simple simple example to use with my app.

Hello Kevin,

Yes, it is possible to retrieve the user by passing the id in the URL:

//Ajax request using jQuery
$.ajax({
    url: 'https://api.everlive.com/v1/<your_API_Key_here>/Users/${Id}',
    type: "GET",
    headers: {"Authorization" : "Bearer ${AccessToken}"},
    success: function(data){
        alert(JSON.stringify(data));
    },
    error: function(error){
        alert(JSON.stringify(error));
    }
})

For the current user, instead of the Id of the user, you can also use "me". This will give you the data for the currently logged in user. Example: http://.../Users/me.
For more information refer to the Icenium Everlive documentation Rest API -> Users (you have to login into the Everlive portal).

Hi Kevin,

We have not been able to reproduce this behaviour. The request you are trying to do is a very basic one and in order to pipoint the problem we will need some more info. Can you please answer the questions below:

1. Does the Backend work for this application and can you manage the Users?
2. Have you written custom cloud code for the Users type?
3. If you create a new application (project) from the Backend, are you able to make the same request?
4. Do you experience such issues with other content types in that application?

Please note that on 16 August we expereinced brief server downtime which could have caused that behaviour.

Best regards,
Anton Sotirov
