How can I get other cognito user attributes like created_at? - amplify-js

Which Category is your question related to? Authentication

What AWS Services are you utilizing? Cognito

Provide additional details e.g. code snippets I can get the user sub, email, and other attributes like first_name by doing this

const user = await Auth.currentAuthenticatedUser()

However, I can't find any way to get the created_at datetime.

@flybayer hi, the only way to achieve that data is to use the AdminGetUser API provided by Cognito team: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito-user-identity-pools/latest/APIReference/API_AdminGetUser.html which is not available when using Amplify.

@flybayer you could use the admin API suggested by @powerful23 and then store the result as a custom claim in your token during the pre-token generation Cognito trigger. Then you could just access it from the token like any other claim.
