Google Contacts API Explorer?

Question

Ive been implementing a google contacts importer for our website and was looking for a way to test out the API calls so I can see the flow and what they return. There is a google api explorer but doesnt seem to have Google Contacts on there?

I know google contacts is still apart of the Google Data API but is there a specific explorer for that API set?

The API Explorer is specific to newer APIs, but you can use the Oauth Playground to try out any of Google's APIs. After authorizing you can click 'List possible operations' to get a list of API calls similar to what the Explorer provides. The main difference is there isn't a form to setup parameters, you have to go through the documentation and compose the request bodies manually.
