Can I get payer_id with "Login with Paypal"?

Question

I'm integrating Log In with PayPal - JavaScript Button. https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/integration/direct/log-in-with-paypal/js_button/

I need "payer_id" of the user who logged in with paypal. But it's NOT included in a response.

A response of "4. Get User's PayPal Profile Data" in above integration guide is like this :

{ "family_name":"Ito", "name":"Gen Ito", "account_type":"BUSINESS", "given_name":"Gen", "user_id":"ttps://www.paypal.com/webapps/auth/identity/user/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "verified_account":"true", "language":"ja_JP", "zoneinfo":"Asia/Tokyo", "locale":"ja_JP", "email":"xxx@xxx", "account_creation_date":"2011-11-18", "birthday":"1982-08-02", "age_range":"26-30" }

"payer_id" is listed in below, so I thought payer_id is available. https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/#get-user-information

Can I get payer_id with "Login with Paypal" ? Then should I use another/other request ?

you need to submit a support ticket at www.paypal.com/mts and request access to this attribute.
