I am using this code from the StackExchange App Documentation to get the user information from StackOverflow.
// For simplicity, we're using jQuery for some things
// However, the library has no jQuery dependency
$(function(){
// Initialize library
SE.init({
// Parameters obtained by registering an app, these are specific to the SE
// documentation site
clientId: 1,
key: 'U4DMV*8nvpm3EOpvf69Rxw((',
// Used for cross domain communication, it will be validated
channelUrl: 'https://api.stackexchange.com/docs/proxy',
// Called when all initialization is finished
complete: function(data) {
$('#login-button')
.removeAttr('disabled')
.text('Run Example With Version '+data.version);
}
});
// Attach click handler to login button
$('#login-button').click(function() {
// Make the authentication call, note that being in an onclick handler
// is important; most browsers will hide windows opened without a
// 'click blessing'
SE.authenticate({
success: function(data) {
alert(
'User Authorized with account id = ' +
data.networkUsers[0].account_id + ', got access token = ' +
data.accessToken
);
},
error: function(data) {
alert('An error occurred:\n' + data.errorName + '\n' + data.errorMessage);
},
networkUsers: true
});
});
});
This code works fine but I noticed that everytime it fires and gives the response access_token changes. How I can I just get user information using the access token. Plus this is returning user's data with all the sites he is part of. How can I limit it to just StackOverflow. I am unable to find proper documentation for this.
Can anyone please point me to the JS methods for making API calls from StackExchange API?
