Google Contacts API doesn't show up in the list of API's available

I tried out the Tasks example described here: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/tasks/oauth-and-tasks-on-android by enabling the Tasks API in the API console but I didn't see an option for the Contacts API. Is there a reason for this?

Solution

  • The Contacts API, unlike the Tasks API, doesn't need to be enabled on the APIs Console.

    Please also note that the Contacts API is based on the Google Data protocol and not Discovery.
