You need to make a request to /oauth2/v1/userinfo

From obr...@google.com on May 07, 2012 11:10:20

You should be able to use either API to get the user's email address.

This demo uses oauth2.userinfo.get and plus.people.get to retrieve user information. Both contain the email. https://google-api-javascript-client.googlecode.com/hg/issues/issue7.html For the Google+ API, the response contains an "emails" field which is an array of email objects: https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/people#resource

Status: Done

The email is only returned if the user has chosen to make that field publicaly available, which most have not.

once you have the request:
var request = gapi.client.plus.people.get( {'userId' : 'me'} );

call for this:

request.execute(loadProfileCallback);

/**

• Callback for the asynchronous request to the people.get method. The profile

• and email are set to global variables. Triggers the user's basic profile

• to display when called.
  */
  function loadProfileCallback(obj) {
  profile = obj;

  // Filter the emails object to find the user's primary account, which might
  // not always be the first in the array. The filter() method supports IE9+.
  email = obj['emails'].filter(function(v) {
  return v.type === 'account'; // Filter out the primary email
  })[0].value; // get the email from the filtered results, should always be defined.
  }
