How to get users' own data from a collection?

Question

How to get users' own data from a collection?

After a successful login, /auth/login does not return user-related info except the Bearer token.

So how do I request only the logged-in users' data from a collection?

While using GraphQL I can filter my result by this way if I knew my user ID. But I don't think it's the best way.

(filter:{user_created:{id:{_eq: "59d5bc57-6a67-4200-b435-553403c5b503"} }})

It's in the docs. :)

https://docs.directus.io/reference/api/system/users/?#retrieve-the-current-user

The endpoint "${api_url}/users/me" will return the information for the currently authenticated user. You should be able to map this to GQL as you need.

I don't think it's possible with GraphQL. I will just get it with GET request and use it. – Cem Kaan Feb 10 '21 at 10:30
I've not really used GraphQL, however could you not try this? query { users { me(){} } } – Shea Lavington Feb 10 '21 at 11:23
there are just items and server fields under Query – Cem Kaan Feb 10 '21 at 11:49

There should be feature parity between the REST API and the GraphQL endpoint — if one is missing something, just open a ticket on GitHub and it will get resolved. – RANGER Feb 11 '21 at 01:31
Using GraphQL is totally ok by now. See my reply querying `users_me` on the system endpoint – vinyll Jul 25 '23 at 14:10

Directus allows you to call the current user via the GraphQL query to /graphql/system:

query me {
    users_me {
        id
    }
}

This retrieves the id and you can add the fields you need.

It is compatible with the Directus SDK if you're using it.
