Hi folks,
Has anyone experimented with extracting Google Contact data from within 
Livecode? 

As a weekend project, I intend to replace the sprawling spreadsheet that is our 
current local Scouts' District directory with:
a) Google Contacts to manage the details of the ~150 volunteers who work 
in/across 6 related Scout Group charity organisations within our District
b) (as Google Docs has no mail-merge facility) LiveCode to generate a printable 
PDF directory (that gets shared as a Google Doc, back to these volunteers).

I've managed to squeeze the multiple roles that volunteers undertake across 
organisational boundaries into Google Contacts Groups and custom fields, but 
I'm wondering whether to even attempt any automation of the manual Google 
Contacts CSV export step to get the data into LiveCode.

I've not played with any of the Google APIs, so don't know how complex this 
would be - or where to start, really. Is this a one-line of code HTTP(S) get 
call or a library I ned to build. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.   
Best,
Keith..
