I want to get user name from SF over REST API. Is it possible to do with only one step when I have access token. As I saw from documentation and samples I have first to call something like this

https://na15.salesforce.com/services/data/v20.0/sobjects/User/ headers : Authorization: Bearer access_token

then I get user URL, something like this :

url:/services/data/v20.0/sobjects/User/005i0000000awMl788

and finally when I invoke that link over REST API I will get username. Is it possible to do this with one step when I have access token ? It is not natural for me to make two calls for such information.

Thanks, Rastko

assuming you know

  • Userid and OrgId
  • or you have the Id URL

you could call the OAuth identity service

https://login.salesforce.com/ORG_ID/USER_ID

have a look here http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Digging_Deeper_into_OAuth_2.0_on_Force.com

  • Yes, I know that I can get username directly if I have Userid and OrgId pair. I'm having to get UserId with access token when I get response form SF. I have described that in this case : link

  • Isn't the access token based on the password? Can't see a way to insert that in the URL
