Help needed: I cannot add Shared Contacts API to Domain Wide Delegations

Google Workspace Developers Q&A
1

I am making an application syncing contacts for me workspace organisation using the shared contacts API. I am using this documentation to make it: Domain Shared Contacts API overview  |  Admin console  |  Google for Developers. However the google admin console doesn’t let me add the scope to DWD (https://www.google.com/m8/feeds). I understand that this api hasn’t been updated like the other ones and that changes things.

My questions:

  • Do I even need to add it to DWD?
  • If not, how can I make it so my service account has access to the API?

I’ve been really stuck on finding documentation for this, since there are conflicting discriptions with how the new api works. Thank you for the help.
