User wmontgom has the nick name 'bill.montgomery'. The nickname api
(https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/angelo.edu/nickname/2.0?
startNickname=b) doesn't include this new nickname.

Was the api updated lately?

Hi snacknuts,

I'd recommend using the multidomain alias API calls rather than nickname so that you can get email aliases across all domains, not just the user's primary. The alias API calls should return everything the nickname API call would plus additional domains:
