User profile information

The Google Health API gives you access to user-submitted health and wellness data. User profile information is available through the getProfile endpoint but is limited to metrics such as age and membership start date.

To get additional user profile information, you can use the People API. You may need to request authorization for additional scopes. For example, to read the user's birthday, you must include https://www.googleapis.com/auth/user.birthday.read and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile in your authorization request. For more information on People API authorization, see Authorize Requests.

For example, to get the user's birthday using People API:

Protocol

GET /v1/people/me?personFields=birthdays HTTP/1.1
Host: people.googleapis.com

Java

Person profile = peopleService.people().get("people/me")
    .setPersonFields("birthdays")
    .execute();

Python

profile = people_service.people()
    .get('people/me', personFields='birthdays')

PHP

$profile = $people_service->people->get(
    'people/me', array('personFields' => 'birthdays'));

.NET

PeopleResource.GetRequest peopleRequest =
    peopleService.People.Get("people/me");
peopleRequest.PersonFields = "birthdays";
Person profile = peopleRequest.Execute();
