spark whoami

Display the current authenticated user and account information.

Synopsis

spark whoami

Description

spark whoami shows who you are currently authenticated as. It displays your account email, user ID, and authentication method. This is a quick way to verify your login status without running the full spark status command.

If you are not authenticated, the command tells you so and suggests running spark login. This makes it useful as a sanity check before running queries or shares.

The command contacts the Spark API to validate your current credentials, so it also serves as a connectivity test.

Arguments

This command has no arguments.

Flags

This command has no additional flags beyond global flags.

Examples

Check current user

spark whoami

Output when authenticated:

Logged in as: you@example.com
User ID: usr_abc123
Auth method: oauth

Check when not logged in

spark whoami

Output when not authenticated:

Not authenticated. Run 'spark login' to connect.

Use in scripts

# Ensure authenticated before running a batch of commands
spark whoami > /dev/null 2>&1 || spark login
