Google People API?

Open ghost opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

The documentation for the Contacts API states quite threatingly:

Warning: The Google Contacts API is now deprecated and is scheduled for sunset on June 15, 2021. Apps should instead use the People API. Get started with the migration guide. For our official statement on the deprecation please read our service announcement.

As this time is less than a year away, it may be worth considering a switch :(.

Is there any news on this front. I am now faced with the error: gdata.client.RequestError: Server responded with: 400, 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

I have started work on it but still some ways to go. In the mean time - I hear Google Contacts supports CardDAV; do you want to give that a shot?

Google' CardDAV support is very bad. Not only they not include label information in their vcards, they also randomly reject vcards they don't like, and nobody knows why, it's not documented.

Oh my; I recently upgraded my Mac, and python 2.7 is totally gone. Damn, this is going to be painful. What a f-ing mess.
