get gmail contacts Google Contacts API with javascript

Question

it always says The page you requested is invalid. how can i fetch the contacts with javascript using google contacts api i have valid scope and Client ID

Answer 1

I ran into the same problem, I solved it by first retrieving an access token, and then call the API directly. This is because the javascript api (gapi) does not support retrieving google contacts.

Since it was quite the hassle, I wrote a blogpost about it here: https://labs.magnet.me/nerds/2015/05/11/importing-google-contacts-with-javascript.html

Basically this is how I solved it:
