Please report any bugs. CONSTRUCTOR new( username => .., password => .. ) *username* and *password* are required arguments and must be valid Google credentials. If you do not have a Google account you can create one at . METHODS $google->new_contact Returns a new empty WWW::Google::Contacts::Contact object. $google->contact( $id ) Given a valid contact ID, returns a WWW::Google::Contacts::Contact object populated with contact data from Google. $google->contacts Returns a WWW::Google::Contacts::ContactList object which can be used to iterate over all your contacts. $google->new_group Returns a new WWW::Google::Contacts::Group object. $google->group( $id ) Given a valid group ID, returns a WWW::Google::Contacts::Group object populated with group data from Google. $google->groups Returns a WWW::Google::Contacts::GroupList object which can be used to iterate over all your groups. DEPRECATED METHODS The old module interface is still available, but its use is discouraged. It will eventually be removed from the module. * new/login my $gcontacts = WWW::Google::Contacts->new(); $gcontacts->login('fayland@gmail.com', 'pass') or die 'login failed'; * create_contact $gcontacts->create_contact( { givenName => 'FayTestG', familyName => 'FayTestF', fullName => 'Fayland Lam', Notes => 'just a note', primaryMail => 'primary@example.com', displayName => 'FayTest Dis', secondaryMail => 'secndary@test.com', # optional } ); return 1 if created * get_contacts my @contacts = $gcontacts->get_contacts; my @contacts = $gcontacts->get_contacts( { group => 'thin', # default to 'full' } ) my @contacts = $gcontacts->get_contacts( { updated-min => '2007-03-16T00:00:00', start-index => 10, max-results => 99, # default as 9999 } ); get contacts from this account.
