// Insert the contact.
Uri feedUri = new Uri(ContactsQuery.CreateContactsUri("default"));
Contact createdEntry = cr.Insert(feedUri, newEntry);
Console.WriteLine("Contact's ID: " + createdEntry.Id);

return createdEntry;
}

Hi zulurl,

To call google contact api , you need clientid and clientSecret .

About how to access clientid and clientsecret , you could refer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15547019/how-do-i-find-the-googles-oauth-2-0-client-secret-key-for-developing-chrome-ext

About how to  use clientid and clientsecret to access contact , you could refer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33362883/c-sharp-application-read-google-contacts

Since you want to create contact, you need to change the scope to https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/.

Please refer to google contact api doc for more information  https://developers.google.com/contacts/v3/
