Google Contacts Email Scraper

• Use the Google People's (Contacts) API to fetch email addresses from a large contacts directory and from personal contacts & write them to txt files.
• Use case: Scrape all emails from a University Contacts directory and export them to a txt file.
• Google Contacts does not have a native Bulk Contact Export feature that exports all contacts at once. This provides a way to do so.
• You can customise this script to store names, phone numbers and more. Read more.

• The Script should work fine out of the box if a project is setup correctly using OAuth 2.0 with the following scopes: contacts.readonly & directory.readonly in Google Cloud Console

• After running the script using python app.py it will redirect to complete the authentication procses, after which a token.json file be created in the same directory.

• After scraping all the emails, the txt files containing the emails will be stored in the same directory in contacts_emails.txt and directory_emails_alphabetic.txt directory_emails_domain.txt if your account is under an organization (such as a University domain: studentusername@university.edu.in)
