Google+ API : Get Profile's currentLocation

Question

I\'m currently building a test and trying to get a google+ user location. I\'m testing on myself and have set my position to public.

I was originally planning to use Goo

This is an old one but still valid question. Even field "currentLocation" is listed as valid reponse People object field, there´s no way to access field´s data.

Was reported as issue in G+ repository but there is no answer so far.

If you are still trying to get user´s current location try the following snippet, not sure if this is the best option but it works :):

Note: "r" holds the client.request() response data (API call)

r.placesLived.forEach(function(l) {
   if (l.primary) 
    console.log(l.value);
});

Hope this helps. Cheers.
