Google Apps Profiles API is deprecated

[aryelnr]

Hi, could you help me here?
I run this command
python shared_contacts_profiles.py [email protected] --export=ml.csv

But I Receive this error

### Exporting contacts/profiles to CSV file: ml.csv

The error is quite clear. The API used to retrieve the profiles is deprecated.
The code needs to be ported to use the new Directory API from the Google Apps Admin SDK.
I'll give it a try.

After having a quick glance at the code, I believe this will need a major redesign of the application.
I don't quite have the incentive to tackle this at the moment.
Any help appreciated.

For the record, the work that needs to be done is:

• Query Users from the Directory API instead of the Profiles API (https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/reference/users/list)
• Handle a different results pagination method
• Handle and parse the JSON response instead of the gdata structure
• Add an Outlook serializer for the JSON data

In the meantime, if excluding the shared profiles informations from your export is an acceptable tradeoff, I think you can comment line 1174 to only export the contacts.
