How to get amazon user email with Java in Alexa Skill

Question

I'm new in Alexa Skill development and I'm trying to do a skill in which Alexa answers with my email.

I'm developing the skill in Java and I've just been able to take the user session id with:

getSession().getUser().getUserId()

Getting amzn1.ask.account.{id} as solution

The problem is that a need to get the user email (example: [email protected])

Is there any method to do it?

Thanks for help!

As Priyam Gupta said, this is solved with api.amazon.com/user/profile?access_token= And the code I used to solve it is:

    String accessToken = requestEnvelope.getSession().getUser().getAccessToken();
    String url = "https://api.amazon.com/user/profile?access_token=" + accessToken;
    JSONObject json = readJsonFromUrl(url);
    String email = json.getString("email");
    String name = json.getString("name");

With JSON methods:

private static String readAll(Reader rd) throws IOException {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    int cp;
    while ((cp = rd.read()) != -1) {
      sb.append((char) cp);
    }
    return sb.toString();
  }

public static JSONObject readJsonFromUrl(String url) throws IOException, JSONException {
    InputStream is = new URL(url).openStream();
    try {
      BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
      String jsonText = readAll(rd);
      JSONObject json = new JSONObject(jsonText);
      return json;
    } finally {
      is.close();
    }
 }
