gam print gal no longer works due to Google change
gam print contactsprints the Domain Shared Contactsgam print galprint the Global Address List Both of the these commands use the Domain Shared Contacts API: https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/domain-shared-contacts/overview
Sometime recently Google made a change and gam print gal returns this error:
Temporary error: 612 - Contacts API is being deprecated. Migrate to People API to retain programmatic access to Google Contacts. See https://developers.google.com/people/contacts-api-migration., Backing off: 16 seconds, Retry: 4/10
gam print peopleprofile appears to print the User GAL but there is no way as fas as I know to print the Group GAL
The GAL API endpoint was never officially documented and supported afaik (the url does not exist in the developer docs you linked to).
It has been turned down at this point. I'd suggest a replacement command rebuild the GAL based on Directory API and Groups APIs. Groups settings API can be used to determine if a given group should be listed in the directory/GAL or not.
What was the use case of pulling this info with GAM?
It's easy to use the Directory API to list users and get the includeInGlobalAddressList field
For groups you use the Directory API to list groups but then you have to make an additional Group Settings API call per group to get the includeInGlobalAddressList field
That's a lot of API calls if you have N thousnad groups.

It may be possible to batch the calls and get 1000 group settings at a time.
It'd definitely help to understand the use cases for the GAL command though.

People want to verify what groups are in the GAL.

Just writing that this command still exists in GAM, and throws the same error still.
7.07.00
As of mid-October 2024, Google deprecated the API that retrieved the Global Address List.
The following commands have been eliminated.
gam info gal
gam print gal
gam show gal
