Get list of circles of a user using Google Plus API using python client

Question

I am using Google OAuth2 authentication with the following scope included:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login

This allows my application to access a user's Google plus account information (basic).

Is it possbile to get a list of the user's "Circles" using the google-api-python-client If yes, how?

Note: I am not using the Google+ Domains API, but the Google Plus API v1

Answer 1

There is no way to do this with the regular Google+ API. As you seem to be aware, it can be achieved with the Google+ Domains API but that requires your target user to be a Google Apps account and you to have admin access to the domain.
