Option to get the contact entries updated after a specific time NOT given in Google People API

We use Google Contacts API to get contact entries that are updated after a specific time to keep an updated copy of the contacts on our end.

In Google Contacts API, there is an option to get the contact entries updated after a specific time using "updated-min" query parameter.

GET https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full?updated-min=2007-03-16T00:00:00

There is no option specified in Google People API for such a case in Google People documentation. Am I missing anything or is this feature not given?

If you're trying to implement an incremental sync where you want all the contacts that were changed (or created/deleted) since the last sync time, then instead of using a time object you can use syncToken.

It works like this - you first call people.connections.list without a syncToken, and with requestSyncToken true. The last response page will include a field syncToken which you can send in future people.connections.list calls to get only the resources changed since the last request.

See this: https://developers.google.com/people/api/rest/v1/people.connections/list#query-parameters
