This document describes how to integrate Kakao Story APIs into your service with the Kakao SDK for Flutter (hereinafter referred to as 'Flutter SDK').
Before using Kakao Story APIs with the Flutter SDK,
kakao_flutter_sdk_story
and kakao_flutter_sdk_user
in pubspec.yaml by referring to Install SDK, import the corresponding libraries in your dart file.To launch the service app by story link on the native app service, you must set the Custom URL Scheme. See how to set up a project by device environment below.

To check if the user who is currently logged in is using Kakao Story, call the isStoryUser()
method in the StoryApi
class.
// Checking if user is using Kakao Story
try {
bool isStoryUser = await StoryApi.instance.isStoryUser();
print('Whether to use Kakao Story: $isStoryUser');
} catch (error) {
print('Failed to validate Kakao Story user registration. $error');
}
isStoryUser()
returns true
if the user is using Kakao Story. If the user is not using Kakao Story, false
is returned so that you can take action to prevent an error that occurs when calling Kakao Story APIs for the user.

To retrieve the Kakao Story profile information of the user who is currently logged in, call the profile()
method in the StoryApi
class.
// Retrieving Kakao Story profile
try {
StoryProfile profile = await StoryApi.instance.profile();
print('Succeeded in retrieving Kakao Story profile. \nNickname: ${profile.nickname}\nProfile Image: ${profile.thumbnailUrl}\nBirthday: ${profile.birthday}');
} catch (error) {
print('Failed to retrieve Kakao Story profile. $error');
})
profile()
returns Kakao Story profile information through the StoryProfile
object.
Users can set their desired profile nicknames and images for Kakao Story, Kakao Talk, and Kakao Account respectively. Thus, profile information retrieved through this API is different from the ones obtained through the Retrieving user information API or Retrieving Kakao Talk profile API.
