I've been playing around with the Contacts API for a while, and found
annoying that some information could not be accessed. By syncing the
contacts between devices I confirmed that Google was indeed keeping
track of fields such as birthday, first and last name, but for some
reason not the nickname (maybe it's an iPhone sync issue, as the sync
itself is mainly a kludge built on top of a pseudo-Exchange server).
I'm not sure if it's official or not yet, but I just wanted to let you
all know that I was trying to see those "new" fields on the API and
found out "by mistake" that they all can be accessed by changing the
GData-Version header from 2 to 3.
I'd like to confirm if this is in some kind of beta or is already
public info, but for the meantime that means I can finally access
those fields. I have yet to test updates to those new items, but I
expect them to work.
Keep up the good work.
