Domain profile pics

[Martin MULLAN]

Hi all,

I am trying to retrieve the logged in user's profile pic in a htmlservice apps script page...it is proving harder than I would have thought.

Anyone got the code that retrieves the url for the profile pic based on a user's email address so I can present a list of users with their pic e.g. for a class of students?

Cheers, Mart.

you can get that picture url server-side and pass it to theh htmlservice page to show it

In code below, userinfo would include the user's picture (if any) and other details from the user profile

    //  var user = Session.getEffectiveUser().getEmail(); // only to include scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email

    var url = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo";

    var param = {

      method : "get",

      headers : {"Authorization": "Bearer " + ScriptApp.getOAuthToken()},

    };

    var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, param);

    let code = response.getResponseCode();

    let content = response.getContentText();

    var userinfo = JSON.parse(content);

Thanks Faustino, that works, and I see you have answered that before!

Different question. I have a list of email addresses in a sheet. I need to return the profile pic url for the email address, not the logged in user. Can you help with this?

I believe that's not possible or at least I don't how to do that

To access that information with a script (either server or client side) you'd need the user's authorization

Manually, you can mouse over the email address in your datasheet

- and right-click the user's image to get the image address, if the user has a photo

- but that might be a temporary Url as it's based on googleusercontent server

Optionally, and this is a wild guess,

- you can add all those emails as Contacts with an specific label and then

- you can explore the Advanced People Service (People API) to see if you can get their photo's Url from there

- let us know if that works, just in case it can help others
