Google Chrome Sync check if enabled via API/Extension?

Question

Is it possible to programmatically check if Chrome Sync is configured in Google Chrome?

The reason I ask is that I am coding an Extension for Chrome that depends on

Answer 1

I was able to get the status of sync is turned on or no along with the email ids. Here is the code :

create a manifest.json file with below content

    {
      "name": "Test turn on sync",
      "version": "1.0",
      "description": "Extension",
      "permissions":[
      "identity", 
      "identity.email"
      ],
      "background": {
      "scripts": ["background.js"],
      "persistent": false
   },
      "manifest_version": 2
 }

Create a background.js file in the same folder

chrome.identity.getProfileUserInfo(function(data) {
if (data.id) {
    alert(data);
}
else
{
    alert("User is not signed in to chrome.");
}

});

Add the folder as chrome extension Run the extension from chrome with the help of identity.email in permissions, you will be able to get even the email-id of the user who has turned on sync, along with status P.S : I modified the code from below answered thread
