Validating if a user is actually logged in (with mastodon and token)

[GerritKuilder]

Hello All,

struggling with the following:

I am trying to validate i a login was succesful or not:

  const masto = await login({
      url: url,
      accessToken: token
    });

but I cannot figure out how I can check if the login was successful or not.
The masto object does not give me many clues either.

I am trying to understand the docs but so far no luck.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Gerrit Kuilder

You can use masto.v1.accounts.verifyCredentials

Test to make sure that the user token works.
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/accounts/#verify_credentials

Example:

const masto = await login(...);
const me = await masto.v1.accounts.verifyCredentials();
console.info(`Logged in as ${me.acct}`);

I hope it helps.
