Does npm feed support whoami?

[aristo_4359]

I am not sure whether this is documented somewhere but it seems proget does not support cli "npm whoami" as it returns 404, is it true? If it is not true can you give either how to do it or which documentation for doing that?

I am talking about https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/commands/npm-whoami

Hi @aristo_4359 ,

As you noticed, the feed does not support that endpoint. So there's no really way to get it working aside from us writing code to support it :)

Thanks,
Steve

Ok thank you for confirmation. The whoami is useful for troubleshooting things, though not necessary for day to day, so it would be useful to be implemented.

I was stuck with an issue unable to publish to npm feed. Had this available, I would be able to fix it quicker (the issue had multiple sub-issues) as I was not even sure whether I was logged in correctly or not.

@aristo_4359 thanks for letting us know! You are the first person to inquire about it over very many years :)

We'll see if anyone else is interested in this and then we can consider adding it!
