You can get it from the Graph API&nbsp;https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/&lt;user@contoso.com&gt;/drive/webUrl

You have to authenticate against Microsoft Graph to access the endpoints.

You can do this easily in SPFx with the MSGraphClient, which you can give Graph access by configuring the permissions in your package-solution.json file and approving when you install: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/use-aad-tutorial

If you're not in SPFx, there are other ways to access authenticate against Microsoft Graph: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth-overview

I guess it really depends on your situation though. A quick-fix way to do this would be to just parse the user's email address and build the URL yourself. The URL follows this general scheme:

https://tenant-my.sharepoint.com/personal/user_tenant_com/Documents where non alphanumeric characters in the email address become "_"

I have no idea if that URL scheme is subject to change or if there are special cases, so I wouldn't consider building the URL like that from an email address a permanent solution.
