Circles: addPeople for gmail accounts

Question

The Google+ Domains API specifies a number of operations that can be done using Google Apps accounts for a domain. In PHP, these methods are

google_plus_circle_get
google_plus_people_add            
google_plus_message_send          
google_plus_message_read          
google_plus_group_post_send       
google_plus_group_post_read       
google_plus_page_post_send        
google_plus_page_post_read        
google_plus_timeline_post_send    
google_plus_timeline_post_read   
google_plus_post_share_send      
google_plus_post_share_read      
google_plus_post_like_send       
google_plus_post_like_read       

Are there equivalent functions that are available if you are using a GMail account and not a Google Apps account?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, no. These functions are only available to Apps Domains and the accounts created for them.

The "regular" Google+ API is read-only and only works on fully public information. There are a number of open issues requesting these features, and you may wish to review the list and star those you're most interested in, giving detailed use cases where possible.
