Get email from personal information from User Object?

Question

I need to fetch email of the user which they place under personal information but I seem to be getting back all the contact's emails of the user.

So for the above example, I need [email protected]. My code and query is as follows:

const conn = new jsforce.Connection({
        instanceUrl: ...,
        accessToken:...,
        refreshToken: ...,
        oauth2: {
            "clientId": ...,
            "clientSecret": ...,
            "redirectUri": ...
        },
    });

const query = "Select  Email FROM User";
const result = await conn.query(query);

But I do not get this email, I get all the contacts email in an array which is like 100+ in length.

Your query is returning every user in the database. You need to limit the query to just the current user.

You should call the identity() method, and then you can query the user:

con.identity((err, res) => {
  if(res) {
    let result = conn.query(`select email from user where id = '${res.user_id}'`);
  }
});

Or, you can use Chatter:

conn.chatter.resource('/users/me').retrieve((err, res) => {
  let email = res.email;
});
