Re: [Evolution] contacts - People API vs. Contacts API

[David Charlton <david wayside me uk>]

Happened again just now - English version of the message is

"Invalid request URI or header, or unsupported nonstandard parameter:
Contacts API is being deprecated. Migrate to People API to retain
programmatic access to Google Contacts. See 
https://developers.google.com/people/contacts-api-migration.";

This crops up occaisionally not every time.  It appears in a wider
error message saying unable to connect to google contact.  If you hit
the "reconnect" button in that message all is restored but for how long
will that be the case?
