Try following code:

import gdata.gauth

import gdata.contacts.client

import json

import requests

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID = 'GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID'  # Provided in the APIs console

GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET = 'GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET'  # Provided in the APIs console

ACCESS_TOKEN = 'ACCESS_TOKEN' # given from a prior OAuth2 workflow, along with userID and refreshToken

REFRESH_TOKEN = 'REFRESH_TOKEN'

# GData with access token

token = gdata.gauth.OAuth2Token(

    client_id=GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,

    client_secret=GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,

    scope='https://www.google.com/m8/feeds',

    user_agent='app.testing',

    access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN,

    refresh_token=REFRESH_TOKEN)

contact_client = gdata.contacts.client.ContactsClient()

token.authorize(contact_client)

feed = contact_client.GetContacts()

for entry in feed.entry:

  entry.title.text

  for e in entry.email:

    e.address

# JSON with access token

r = requests.get('https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full?access_token=%s&alt=json&max-results=50&start-index=0' % (access_token))

data = json.loads(r.text)
