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](https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/errors#error_info) 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. When the `page_token` or `sync_token` is specified, all other request parameters must match the first call. Writes may have a propagation delay of several minutes for sync requests. 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. **IMPORTANT**: Before searching, clients should send a warmup request with an empty query to update the cache. See https://developers.google.com/people/v1/contacts#search_the_users_contacts
  • `searchDirectoryPeople` — Provides a list of domain profiles and domain contacts in the authenticated user's domain directory that match the search query.
  • `updateContact` — Update contact data for an existing contact person. Any non-contact data will not be modified. Any non-contact data in the person to update will be ignored. All fields specified in the `update_mask` will be replaced. The server returns a 400 error if `person.metadata.sources` is not specified for the contact to be updated or if there is no contact source.
  • `updateContactPhoto` — Update a contact's photo. Mutate requests for the same user should
