Summary
Other Contacts is the pile nobody ever opens, and this reaches into it.
Google quietly saves everyone you correspond with into a separate list. Alongside ordinary contact and group management, this server reads that list and promotes entries out of it, so a frequent correspondent can become a real contact.
What it is
A server over the Google People API for personal contacts: read, create, update, delete and search, plus contact groups.
What you get
- A contact fetched by resource name, returning only the fields you ask for
- The authenticated user's connections listed, with paging
- Contacts created from a person object, updated, deleted and searched
- Contact groups listed, created, updated and deleted
- “Other Contacts” — the entries Google auto-saved from other services — read, and promoted into your main list
Requirements
Authorised access to the Google account whose contacts it should read. Calls address a person by resource name, and each one states which fields to return.
