access users data in spotify app

Using the advice in this post I have been able to access the spotify users data for their playlists with

sp = getSpotifyApi(1);
console.log (sp.core.library.getAlbums());

I want to access the spotify user data for the user logged into the app, specifically the spotify uri for the user.

sp = getSpotifyApi(1);
console.log (sp.core.user);        // is undefined
console.log (sp.social.relations); // is undefined

How can I do this?

This information is not available in the Spotify Apps API for privacy reasons. There is a unique user ID, but it is not the user's username.

If you need the user's friends list, you'll need to connect to (say) Facebook yourself and get it that way.
