New Contacts Data API features are here!
June 9th, 2009 | Published in Google Code
A new version of the Contacts Data API has been made available. V3.0 of the API brings greatly expanded data schema, including support for structured name and postal address.
We have vastly extended the data schema for contacts to allow faithful synchronization of Google Contacts with other widely used contact databases, like Microsoft Outlook or Apple's Address Book. Besides the support for structured name and postal address, another highlight is the inclusion of the oft-requested birthday field.
We hope the new version of the Contacts Data API will allow developers to easily create more sophisticated and universally compatible contacts-enabled applications. For any questions about the new features, please visit the Google Contacts groups page.
