After you've completed the steps in Get Ready to Use the People API, you are ready to read data for profiles.
The following code samples demonstrate how to send a few simple requests. For a full list of methods, see the reference documentation.
Get the person for the authenticated user
To get the user's profile, use the following code:
Protocol
GET /v1/people/me?personFields=names,emailAddresses HTTP/1.1 Host: people.googleapis.com
Java
Person profile = peopleService.people().get("people/me") .setPersonFields("names,emailAddresses") .execute();
Python
profile = people_service.people() .get('people/me', personFields='names,emailAddresses')
PHP
$profile = $people_service->people->get( 'people/me', array('personFields' => 'names,emailAddresses'));
.NET
PeopleResource.GetRequest peopleRequest = peopleService.People.Get("people/me"); peopleRequest.PersonFields = "names,emailAddresses"; Person profile = peopleRequest.Execute();
Get the person for a Google Account ID
To get the person information for a Google Account ID, use the following code:
Protocol
GET /v1/people/account_id?personFields=names,emailAddresses HTTP/1.1 Host: people.googleapis.com
Java
Person profile = peopleService.people().get("people/account_id") .setPersonFields("names,emailAddresses") .execute();
Python
profile = people_service.people() .get('people/account_id', personFields='names,emailAddresses')
PHP
$profile = $people_service->people->get( 'people/account_id', array('personFields' => 'names,emailAddresses'));
.NET
PeopleResource.GetRequest peopleRequest = peopleService.People.Get("people/account_id"); peopleRequest.PersonFields = "names,emailAddresses"; Person profile = peopleRequest.Execute();
