Google+ api doesn't return profile name with login request

Question

The google documentation HERE clearly says that

You should not request userinfo.profile or plus.me in combination with [https://www.googleapis.com/au

Answer 1

You need userinfo.email to get the email address, but you should be able to request that without also requesting userinfo.profile. plus.login should give you access to the "GET /plus/v1/people/{userid}" call which should return the following fields/objects (at a minimum):

• name - an object containing the name broken down into fields
• displayName
• nickname
