How to read Gmail contacts using Zend Framework using oAuth

Question

I am done with oAuth with Google using Zend Framework. For now i am reading user google DOCs only. How can i read Gmail contacts using Zend Framework withour asking username and password.

Thank You a lot.

Answer 1

I dont think there is any straight forward way to do that. You can try this solution. But this uses username & pwd. You can refer to this Calendar example for how to authenticate using both ways.

Answer 2

oAuth is about authentication, so you will have to authenticate providing credentials.

Authentication is not possible without username and password.

However, you can use API to access the data:
