I have retrieved all my contacts using Google Contact API. Now, i want to get the google profile info of all those contacts using the get request as mentioned in this People API GET link. But i do not see any id in the response to make a request.

The Contacts API and People API are separate API's not meant to interop with each other.
That said, the reverse engineered way to do this is to take the Contacts API contact ID, parse that hexadecimal value, convert it to decimal, and add a 'c' prefix to it, and that becomes the People API person resource ID.
e.g. if the Contacts API contact ID was 100, then the People API person ID would be c256. When you fetch contacts from the People API in this fashion, it'll have the joined profile information, if present.
