How can I get my friends from Google+ with the Java API?

Question

I\'m interested in getting several friends from different circles in Google+. I am using java google plus API. Is it possible to get the people from my circles? How?

Answer 1

No, currently Google+ doesn't offer an option to get people from circles (yet).

The best you can do is get the people that have acted upon your activities: 1. get your own activities 2. Get the plusoners, resharers and commenters

Answer 2

You could use Google Contact API to do that. But you will have only name of user and no information about e-mail or circles.
