Google Contacts and profiles management via the People API.
Manage contact groups with create, update, delete, and batch operations; contact group names must be unique per user Create, update, and batch-manage individual contacts with support for photos, metadata, and field-level control via update_mask Search contacts across grouped contacts, other contacts, and domain directory with warmup request requirement for cache optimization List and sync contacts incrementally using sync tokens (7-day expiration) and page tokens; domain directory listing includes deleted contact tracking Requires gws binary and Google Workspace authentication; use gws schema to inspect method parameters before execution

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 "EXPIREDSYNCTOKEN". In the case of such an error clients should make a full sync request without a synctoken. - 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 OTHERCONTACT 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#searchtheusersother_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 synctoken is specified, resources deleted since the last sync will be returned as a person with PersonMetadata.deleted set to true. When the pagetoken or synctoken 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#searchtheuserscontacts - 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 be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures. - connections — Operations on the 'connections' resource
