google people api search by phonenumbers

I'm trying to use "searchContacts" method of the Google People Apis to search contacts by phone number but the result is always empty.

If I set the name of one of my contacts in query paramters, It works fine. If I set the phone number in the query parameter, no result is returned to me.

I also trying to use "The test panel" in the Google documentation page (https://developers.google.com/people/api/rest/v1/people/searchContacts) but I have the same end.

Is this possibile? If yes, How should I set the query parameter?

thank you

Solution

  • Use the canonicalForm of the phoneNumber without the + sign.

    Example:

    Request parameter:
