Python
profile = people_service . people () . get ( 'people/me' , personFields = 'names,emailAddresses' )
PHP
$profile = $people_service->people->get( 'people/me', array('personFields' => 'names,emailAddresses'));
.NET
PeopleResource . GetRequest peopleRequest = peopleService . People . Get ( "people/me" ); peopleRequest . PersonFields = "names,emailAddresses" ; Person profile = peopleRequest . Execute ();
Get the person for a Google Account ID
