Approval information on deployment job in azure pipelines

Question

I'm using a deployment job in my Azure Pipeline that uses an environment that require an approval before deploy. This works fine, but now I need the information about who approved the deployment (similar to Who approved the deployment in VSTS?).

How can I obtain this information in azure pipelines? I didn't find anything about this in the docs.

It's not able to do this at the moment. There is no documented API.
