Using OtherContacts.list(), I succeeded to get a list of Person instances there (relevant link here and here ), but as the API says, I can only request to
fetch this information:

"emailAddresses,names,phoneNumbers"

How can I get the rest? Is there even an ID for each item here (had it for Contacts API here ) ?
Is there perhaps a workaround to get the rest of the fields for each item of the list here?

Seems it's impossible.
Can you please add such a feature?
It seems quite a bad idea to do it by copying one after another using copyOtherContactToMyContactsGroup (here) ...
There isn't even a batch operation for it...

@Neenu1995 Can you please convert it to a feature request? You are free to change the text if you wish (add "original text" for reference).

The request is that since as a user I can reach the "other contacts" just fine and see images of them, I can't get this information via the API. Screenshot:

The request is :
Get the same information we have from normal contacts: photos, coverPhotos, job-title&company, metadata ,...
