GitHub OAuth login get GitHub username
After a user logs in via GitHub OAuth, how can the app knowtheir GitHub username?
I could not see it in the session await account.getSession("current") or account await account.get()
TL;DR
The user is seeking assistance in retrieving the GitHub username after a user logs in via GitHub OAuth. It seems that the current session (`await account.getSession("current")`) only provides an access token. The user also mentions that Appwrite only retrieves the user's email and not the GitHub username directly. No solution is provided in the support thread.
If I'm not wrong appwrite only gets the user email, so you can't get it directly from appwrite
The current session (await account.getSession("current")) will have an access token which you can use the make an API call to GitHub and probably retrieve the username
Thank you @D5 @Drake 👍
