I would also want this.
It should return us exactly what we could have gotten if we look at the address book or if we copy the contact from other-contacts to the main-group.
This includes photos, coverPhotos, job-title&company, metadata..

@darguez what are the use-cases you have in mind? Are there specific customers asking for this?

@4 You shouldn't write the full name here. Instead write a comment number or "OP". There are enough spam bots here...
As for the question, I can answer for my case:
I needed this to get the same information as normal contacts. Even the page of Google Contacts itself (of other-contacts) shows the full information of each when you enter it, and some of this missing information is even in the list of other-contacts itself ...

One of the problems is that if you have a contact with several fields and in some point you remove this contact from "My Contacts", the contact will belong then to "Other contacts" and the fields are still there, but when you read it from the API you cannot access those different from emailAddresses, names and phoneNumbers. Since all filled fields are in fact stored in Google Contacts, we should be able to read them from the API to avoid loosing them if you copy the contact to "My contacts" again or maybe if you need to check some field.
Description
Normal contacts have both
people.searchContacts()
andpeople.get()
, however Other contacts have onlyotherContacts.search()
method, so you cannot get full contact data after searching (only emailAddresses, names and phoneNumbers). When a contact is archived (moved to Other contacts), it can have more fields, like company, job, address, notes...
