Retrieve a Single Contact

See more Google APIs Examples

Demonstrates how to retrieve a single contact (by contactId) for the Google Contacts API. React Native

import { AuthGoogle, JsonObject, Rest, StringBuilder, Xml } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  // Note: The code for setting up the Chilkat REST object and making the initial connection can be done once.
  // Once connected, the REST object may be re-used for many REST API calls.
  // (It's a good idea to put the connection setup code in a separate function/subroutine.)
  // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  // It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
  // This example loads the JSON access token file 
  // saved by this example: Get Google Contacts OAuth2 Access Token

  const jsonToken = new JsonObject();
  try {
    jsonToken.loadFile('qa_data/tokens/googleContacts.json');
  } catch {
    console.log('Failed to load googleContacts.json');
    return;
  }

  const gAuth = new AuthGoogle();
  gAuth.accessToken = jsonToken.stringOf('access_token');

  const rest = new Rest();

  // Connect using TLS.
  const bAutoReconnect = true;
  await rest.connectAsync('www.google.com', 443, true, bAutoReconnect);

  // Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access token)
  rest.setAuthGoogle(gAuth);

  // ----------------------------------------------
  // OK, the REST connection setup is completed..
  // ----------------------------------------------

  // To retrieve the contact, send the following:

  // 	GET /m8/feeds/contacts/default/full/{contactId}
  // 	GData-Version: 3.0

  rest.addHeader('GData-Version', '3.0');

  const sbPath = new StringBuilder();
  sbPath.append('/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full/{contactId}');
  // Get the contact having contactId = "7b1c7b6409e718a0"
  const numReplacements = sbPath.replace('{contactId}', '7b1c7b6409e718a0');

  const sbResponseBody = new StringBuilder();
  try {
    await rest.fullRequestNoBodySbAsync('GET', sbPath.getAsString(), sbResponseBody);
  } catch {
    console.log(rest.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // A successful response will have a status code equal to 200.
  if (rest.responseStatusCode !== 200) {
    console.log(`response status code = ${rest.responseStatusCode}`);
    console.log(`response status text = ${rest.responseStatusText}`);
    console.log(`response header: ${rest.responseHeader}`);
    console.log(`response body: ${sbResponseBody.getAsString()}`);
    return;
  }

  // If the 200 response was received, then the contacts XML is contained
  // in the response body.
  const xml = new Xml();
  xml.loadSb(sbResponseBody, false);

  // See below for a sample response body.
  xml.saveXml('qa_output/google_contact.xml');

  // Now let's parse the XML...
  console.log(`title: ${xml.getChildContent('title')}`);

  try {
    const emailAddress = xml.chilkatPath('gd:email|(address)');
    console.log(`email address: ${emailAddress}`);
  } catch {
    // xml.chilkatPath() failed; continue anyway.
  }

  // The response body XML looks something like this:

  // 	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
