API Resources

contactGroups

• batchGet — Get a list of contact groups owned by the authenticated user by specifying a list of contact group resource names.
• create — Create a new contact group owned by the authenticated user. Created contact group names must be unique to the users contact groups. Attempting to create a group with a duplicate name will return a HTTP 409 error. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
• delete — Delete an existing contact group owned by the authenticated user by specifying a contact group resource name. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
• get — Get a specific contact group owned by the authenticated user by specifying a contact group resource name.
• list — List all contact groups owned by the authenticated user. Members of the contact groups are not populated.
• update — Update the name of an existing contact group owned by the authenticated user. Updated contact group names must be unique to the users contact groups. Attempting to create a group with a duplicate name will return a HTTP 409 error. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
• members — Operations on the 'members' resource

otherContacts

• copyOtherContactToMyContactsGroup — Copies an "Other contact" to a new contact in the user's "myContacts" group Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
• list — List all "Other contacts", that is contacts that are not in a contact group. "Other contacts" are typically auto created contacts from interactions. Sync tokens expire 7 days after the full sync. A request with an expired sync token will get an error with an google.rpc.ErrorInfo with reason "EXPIRED_SYNC_TOKEN". In the case of such an error clients should make a full sync request without a sync_token.
• search — Provides a list of contacts in the authenticated user's other contacts that matches the search query. The query matches on a contact's names, emailAddresses, and phoneNumbers fields that are from the OTHER_CONTACT source. IMPORTANT: Before searching, clients should send a warmup request with an empty query to update the cache. See https://developers.google.com/people/v1/other-contacts#search_the_users_other_contacts

people

• batchCreateContacts — Create a batch of new contacts and return the PersonResponses for the newly Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
• batchUpdateContacts — Update a batch of contacts and return a map of resource names to PersonResponses for the updated contacts. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
• createContact — Create a new contact and return the person resource for that contact. The request returns a 400 error if more than one field is specified on a field that is a singleton for contact sources: * biographies * birthdays * genders * names Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
• deleteContactPhoto — Delete a contact's photo. Mutate requests for the same user should be done sequentially to avoid // lock contention.
• get — Provides information about a person by specifying a resource name. Use people/me to indicate the authenticated user. The request returns a 400 error if 'personFields' is not specified.
• getBatchGet — Provides information about a list of specific people by specifying a list of requested resource names. Use people/me to indicate the authenticated user. The request returns a 400 error if 'personFields' is not specified.
• listDirectoryPeople — Provides a list of domain profiles and domain contacts in the authenticated user's domain directory. When the sync_token is specified, resources deleted since the last sync will be returned as a person with PersonMetadata.deleted set to true.

Incremental syncs are not intended for read-after-write use cases.
• searchContacts — Provides a list of contacts in the authenticated user's grouped contacts that matches the search query. The query matches on a contact's names, nickNames, emailAddresses, phoneNumbers, and organizations fields that are from the CONTACT source.
