Using goobook to access gmail company directory instead of contacts

[dwo...@gmail.com]

Hi all!

I want to know if it is possible to goobook to access gmail company (wide email list) directory, along with 'my contacts' lists.

I have to access a bunch of emails from my corporation, but it is hard because those emails list are huge.

Thank you.

David.

Have you tested? I hoped it worked but has not been able to test.

See

https://gitlab.com/goobook/goobook/issues/67

and tell how it goes if you test.

Hi Crister. Thank you for your response.

How should I use it? Do I need to put a special command along with parameters to access Directory company?

Regards,

My interpretation of Googles documentation are that it should work by default.

Well, I'm afraid that it did not work :(

This is a new account, with no contacts added (just company directory):

wonga@dwonga-ThinkPad-T480s:~/.local/bin$ ./goobook query D
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./goobook", line 11, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())

    args.func(config, args)
  File "/home/dwonga/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/goobook/application.py", line 154, in do_query
    goobk = GooBook(config)

Do you have admin rights for the organization?

Access to the directory seems to need to be allowed on the organization level.

Yes. I think you are right, it is necessary to have admin right to fetch that data.

Unfortunately, I don't have that level of access. Therefore, I am unable to test it. 

Thank you for all your time and support, and thank you for so awesome tool. 

David.
