Gws People

This wraps Google's People API through the gws CLI tool, giving you programmatic access to contacts and contact groups in your Google account. You can batch create contacts, search through your directory, manage contact groups, and handle profile photos. The CLI approach makes it scriptable for contact migration, bulk updates, or integrating Google contacts into other workflows. One thing to note: Google requires sequential requests per user to avoid rate limiting, so don't expect blazing fast bulk operations. It's solid for automation but you'll need patience with larger contact lists.
