google-contacts-api's Issues

Error: Bad client request status: 401

I think I'm not using the right token or something like that. In passport-google, I have token and refreshToken. I'm saving token on my database and trying to retrieve it back when I want to access google contacts. Well, Not exactly sure where I can fix something.

Error: Bad client request status: 403

I'm getting this error.

Don't really know where to look. Is this module working?

Error: Cannot call method 'forEach' of undefined

I see this error every once in a while in my logs. It would be nice if it threw a more helpful error instead.
