splitwise_get_current_user
Retrieve your own Splitwise user id, email, default currency, locale, and unread notification count to build expense shares or update your profile.
Instructions
Get the Splitwise user the API key belongs to: name, id, email, currency, locale, notifications.
Calls GET /get_current_user and renders your name and id (as First Last (id N), so
the id can be chained into other tools), email, registration status, default
currency, locale, the unread notifications count, when notifications were last read,
and your email-notification settings (expense_added=on, …).
When to Use:
To learn your own user id before building expense shares or updating your profile.
To check your default currency or locale before creating expenses.
To see how many unread notifications you have (read them with
splitwise_get_notifications).
When NOT to Use:
To check the API key / kill-switch state (use
splitwise_health_check).To look up someone else (use
splitwise_get_user, orsplitwise_resolve_friendfor a name → id).To read balances (use
splitwise_get_balances/splitwise_get_friends).To change your name, locale or default currency (use
splitwise_update_user).
Returns:
Markdown (default): a bullet list with the fields above. JSON: the raw Splitwise
current_user object (incl. picture, notifications_read, notifications).
