Hello Shawn,

Unfortunately, this kind of information is not available in the current
API. Please feel free to file a feature request against our external issue
tracker and post it back in the forum so other might be able to "star" the
issue too:

http://code.google.com/a/google.com/p/apps-api-issues/issues/list?q=label:API-Contacts

The more stars an issue gets, the easier it is for us to prioritize.

Best,
Alain
