Corporate Address Book from Google Contacts

    Not so long ago, we became concerned about the problem of distributing contact information among company employees. Since Google Apps tools, including the Contacts module, are installed on our domain, it was most reasonable to use its capabilities for our needs.
    The result was to be filled in information in the domain directory, accessible to all its members: The


    bottom of the contact information, immediately under the heading “Information from the EditMy.info Directory”, was entered using the API.

    When editing a contact in Google Contacts, it is possible to specify phones, addresses and other information about a person. However, this information is entered into the personal address book and is not available to other users of the domain. The only way to "share" contacts is to use the API: Shared Contacts API or Google Profile API. The first is available only for Premier and Education versions, the second for the Standard version used on our domain.

    Searching for existing solutions on the Internet yielded nothing, therefore, like all normal heroes , we wrote our own script that allows us to edit this data for any Google Apps domain.

    It is available for open-source downloads under the MIT license on Google Code , and is also available for use online -EditMy.info - Google Apps Profile Editor .

    Everything is laid out solely for the purpose of perpetuation and does not pursue any commercial or any other benefit.
    Please do not judge strictly, questions and suggestions are welcome in the comments.
