Hello Remya, Unfortunately, accessing the Google Contacts Data API requires that a user grants your application access to their data which means that the users need to be authenticated into our services first. However, providing the username and password is not always necessary as you can use OAuth (preferably OAuth 2) to ask the users to grant access without providing their credentials: - http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/GettingStarted.html - http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/docs/auth/oauth.html
