Chrome web store help page says that to install an app or an extension you need a Google Account. Is there an API to access the user email who installed the extension? I need this information to save the bookmarks to Google App Engine under user’s name. Any suggestions how this can be done is welcome. This is my previous question. Thanks.
You could use one of the Google Accounts APIs to authenticate the user with Google when he installs your extension. This will give you a URL you can use as a unique identifier for the user.
I doubt Chrome would divulge the user’s email address without a permission warning, and since the list of warnings doesn’t contain anything related to the user’s Google account, I’m assuming it just isn’t possible to get the user’s Google account name.
