Yes but given that astdb is not mysql it will need significant editing beyond what I could do.

If the people who wrote the phone book script think asterisk. Users is a good place to read contacts from why is it a bad idea to store them there?

Thanks for the link.

I will read it in detail when I'm not on my phone.

Still just asking however, could I use the Cisco phone script modified to read a different table with the asteridex script in this thread modified to write to the same table?

Just because you can write a script or hack one together doesn't mean you know what youre doing.

The author (Sanjay Willie, for whom I have some respect in these matters) reads the users table only to build a list of local extensions. The users table stores internal FreePBX config, and most certainly is not an appropriate place to store contacts.

Your solution is to sync the contacts to an actual contact database then modify your phone script to read from there.

I wasn't trying to insult this Dev. I didn't even look at the script. I was just answering why devs do things that aren't smart.

On topic. If you are ultimately generating an XML file and using an XML library why do you need a database at all. Just use the XML file as your data store

I got it to run nicely with accountingnerds version.

But on the phone all the numbers have a leading "9" appended.

I have set country code to "64" since I am in NZ.

Where did the "9" come from?

Cheers

Hi

Looking to set up MySQLdb in Incredible PBX with ubuntu 14.4 (RentPBX)
I am now setting up the python script which has following error:

File "./googlepbxcontacts0.95step1.py", line 358, in main
import MySQLdb
ImportError: No module named MySQLdb
root@pbx2:~/Google/gdata-2.0.18# dpkg --get-selections | grep mysql
libdbd-mysql-perl install
libmysqlclient-dev install
libmysqlclient18:i386 install
mysql-client install
mysql-client-5.5 install
mysql-client-core-5.5 install
mysql-common install
mysql-server install
mysql-server-5.5 install
mysql-server-core-5.5 install
php5-mysql install
The information provided here is for Raspberry (debian) and BBB (ubuntu 13.4), so I am just verifying, not wanting to disturb a clean start.

How to install the MySQLdb python connector module, can I do same for ubuntu 14.4 as for the BBB with ubuntu 13.4? I remembered a wise lesson from Ward once, but again am unwilling to just run some old install on good luck.

update
SOLVED: I tried these commands successfully:

Code:
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb
sudo apt-get install python-mysql.connector



Thanks

I am a user on a private system that serves as a bridge between Google Voice and Asterisk for several users (friends and family type of setup). I would like it if when a call comes on my Google Voice number, it would look up the number in my Google contacts and then use the name for that contact as the caller ID name. The system administrator has said that he would not mind setting this up for me and he has looked at this thread but he's confused by all the different scripts available, and he says that as best he can tell they all seem to write the phone numbers from a person's Google contacts list into the common Asterisk phone book, or into some other database that referenced on all incoming calls intended for all users on the system, not just those intended for me. My contacts list is rather large (around 1,000 entries) and many of them have name entries that mean something only to me, such as the person's first name only.

He says there are two ways it could possibly be done. If there is a way to access a specific user's Google contacts in real time when an incoming call comes in, he says he can create custom dialplan so that this would happen for my calls only, but he hasn't found any way to do a query from within a script where you put in a phone number and get back a name, or even the entire record containing that number, in real time. This would be the method I'd prefer, so that any new contacts I add would be used immediately.

Alternately, he says that if there is a way to get the "good" data into name and number pairs and put them into a custom Asterisk database, similar to the one used for blacklisted numbers but with a different database name, he could write some custom code similar to that used to check the blacklist that would run only when a call comes in on my number, and if the calling number is found in the "my" custom database then it would be used as the caller ID name. Neither he nor I like that idea quite as much, but he says he could do that if he knew how to get the names and numbers from a Google contacts list and put them into a unique Asterisk database for each user using a script. He says his preference for scripts are bash or perl, but he would use a python or ruby script if it would do what we need.

Either way, he says that each user on the system would then only be using their personal Google contacts as a lookup source for their personal calls. My question is, do any of these scripts work in either of those ways, or could they be easily adapted to do so?

I have this running nightly on my PBX (you can do it more often than that - google 'cron'). The script that worked for me was googlepbxcontacts0.95.py. I'm using Google Apps, BTW.
The scripts could certainly be adapted. As I remember, though, there isn't a "lookup by phone number" function in the Google API- so you'd have to iterate through contacts.
Google has a limit to the number of queries you can make per month.
So it makes sense to iterate through the database every few hours or daily rather than every time a phone call comes in.
Secondarily, there's a speed issue (local db lookup is always going to be faster - especially as it is keyed on phone).

The db being used is Ward Mundy's "Asteridex". It's also a web app - so you can go to the app, find the contact you want to call, click the number and have a connection setup between your extension and an outgoing call to that number.

There's also an Asteridex module in CID Superfecta which lets you lookup numbers before you go on to making external queries - and, even if you use OpenCNAM or the like there won't be much info for wireless callers, so IMO better to look here first, save the .01 cents (or whatever) but also have better info.


preference for scripts are bash or perl

It's bash now. He'd need to figure out the Google API to some extent. If nothing else the script is a good "how it works" example, but it's not hard. You'll need to be able to login as each of your users.

Also, assuming you have users Joe and Fred, why is it bad that, if a friend of Fred's calls Joe, that Joe sees who it is, rather than, say "wireless caller"?

serves as a bridge between Google Voice and Asterisk
You mean GTalk/XMPP? Google keeps announcing that they're going to stop this service. They haven't yet. They may never. But who knows?

NEED HELP TO UPGRADE TO OAUTH 2.0

ThommyB
Hi I made googlepbxcontacts0.95.py out of a mix of previous posts. I am not a programmer, just a tweaker. :)

I have 6000 contacts and dont even run a cron daily, but just run the script once in a while.
In fact, I run the same script twice with different variable setting to do two things:

a) one run to read all contacts into a local asteridex db: this gives me callerid number and name on incoming calls.

b) another run to generate dial codes for a certain contact group. The dial codes are used when I want to dial out to someone and do not remember the phone number. For example: I dial 99927 (99WAR) to find the number for Ward Mundy. I have modified his TTS app CallWho to read to me all options: Ward Mundy (home), Ward Mundy (work), Warren Beatty (mobile) and then choose one (1-9).

I think it does what you want (under a), except for the user privacy issue, but it will be a nice challenge: we can (ab)use the contact email field (is now not used) as a contact owner identification for each contact in the database. We need to change the script to read contacts from multiple user accounts. Earlier in this thread there already is such script. And we need to change the lookup script to take all this into account.

But before you/we go on with this, I hope we can first update the program to comply with Google OAUTH 2.0 because otherwise the script will stop working next month. I have tried to read Google instructions, but I have not found/do not understand the right solution for a server app like this one. Part of it (consent) needs to be done online in a browser.

We need to modify this as it currently simply requires gmail username and password and thats not good anymore:
Code:
import atom,re,sys,os
import gdata.data
import gdata.auth
import gdata.contacts
import gdata.contacts.client
import gdata.contacts.data
import unicodedata
 
email = '[email protected]'          # Or use your google apps account
password = 'password'
domain = 'gmail.com'                  # Your domain in case of Google Apps
 
def main():
    import MySQLdb
...
    # Google Contacts API
    gd_client = gdata.contacts.client.ContactsClient(domain=domain)
    gd_client.ClientLogin(email, password, 'google2asteridex')
...

Can anybody provide some pointers here?

You can use OAUTH 2.0 for server-to-server (which fits this application).
To use it, you need to create a service account, give that account permissions, then create one (or more) key pairs associated with that service account, and use that with the OAUTH library.
In order to give the service account permissions to a second account (or a full domain) this needs to be Google Apps. The advantage here is that you'd have access to all user's (and shared) contacts within your domain.
see https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2ServiceAccount

For thise not using GApps, we might need a different approach.
Google Script app to email contacts with phone numbers as CSV list to PBX
On the PBX, a script to receive the email, unpackage the CSV and update the Asteridex database.

I have the Gscript working (built it long ago)
The Linux part (not done):
- configure postfix/sendmail/dovecot to receive email from Gmail (or maybe just use fetchmail)?
- write code to trigger on incoming email with particular characteristics (procmail?)
- read email body as CSV, walk lines
- update AsteriDex db (tested code already in script but writing to a db is the least of my issues)

So - is anyone using this script, needs the functionality, but is not using Google Apps?

I'm not using Google Apps, but have a developers console -- I'll look at what I need to do, as I DO scrape my contacts with one of the Python scripts that's floating around.....

I can get you as far as "contacts emailed to wherever" which deals with OAUTH 2 on the GScript side (just a matter of clicking some boxes when you first try to run).
  • go to https://script.google.com
  • click "create script for blank project"
  • paste the code below in - change my_pbx@my_domain.com to wherever you want things sent
  • file / save
  • click run, select function emailPhoneContacts
    • there'll be some dialog boxes asking you if you're sure you want this to run. click yes
  • click run again, select function emailPhoneContacts again - this time you should end up with an email wherever you specified
  • click the thing that looks like a stopwatch (round icon)
  • you'll get a dialog box that says "current project's triggers" with a link to create a new trigger - click that
  • it should be somewhat self explanatory - select function emailPhoneContacts (yeah, again), timer-driven (all there is) and how often you want it to run. IMO daily is fine, but that's me
Code:
function emailPhoneContacts() {
  var csvList = getPhoneContactsAsCSV();
  MailApp.sendEmail("my_pbx@my_domain.com",    // email to send to
                  "phone contacts",    // subject line of email
                  csvList);
}
 
function getPhoneContactsAsCSV() {
  var csvLines = new Array();
  var regex = new RegExp('^1|^[+]1|[^0-9+x]','g');
  // get all contacts
  var contacts = ContactsApp.getContacts();
  // walk through 'em; we only want the ones with at least one phone number
  for (var i=0; i<contacts.length; i++){
    var contact = contacts[i];
    var fullName = contact.getFullName();
   
    // walk though contact's phone(s)
    var phones = contact.getPhones();
    if(phones.length > 0) {
      var csvline = '';
      for (var p=0; p<phones.length; p++){
        var phoneNum = phones[p].getPhoneNumber().toString().replace(regex,'');
        var label = (phones[p].getLabel()).toString().toLowerCase().replace('_phone','').replace('_',' ');
        csvline = '"' + fullName + '","' + label + '","' + phoneNum + '"\r\n';
        csvLines.push(csvline);
      }
    }     
  }
  csvLines.sort();
  return(csvLines.join(''));
}

Is it reasonable to expect Postfix? I can trigger a script upon a specified email with a postfix filter.
Otherwise, it's procmail or maybe inotifywait or... (any other likely suspects?) Does semdmail/dovecot/exim/whatever have the same capability?

Or maybe lrosenman has figured a non-GApps solution to OAUTH 2.0 (?)

Exim/Dovecot can run scripts (Exim native or Sieve, and Dovecot also runs Sieve on Local delivery).

That said, I haven't had the time to investigate what it would take for a non-GApps OAUTH 2.0 solution yet.

Given that there's no single expectable email server, and my current disinterest in learning/documenting how to trigger scripts in all, perhaps the most general solution is (as above) email GContacts via Gscript to some email box (and so deal with OAUTH 2.0) and then write a script in, say, Python, that reads email via either POP or IMAP. As I remember, there are a boatload of Python libraries for doing either kind of access.

Also: it would only increase the number of "moving parts" to two.

So, here's the code to read the contact csv email sent by the gscript above.
No bells and whistles - but it works fine.

Googlepbxcontacts continues to work fine so long as you log in with username / password.
This gscript/python would be for the situation where you don't want a google account username/password exposed in a script - and you're not using GApps (where OAUTH should work fine). Note that you still expose a username/password, but it's for an email account you only use to receive contact updates - so it's not world shattering if someone gets it.

I'm posting this (working but missing features) in case the username/password login stops working and I'm busy when that happens. Enjoy! Or enjoy not needing it, I guess...

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
 
# Partial reimplementation of googlepbxcontacts, using GScript/IMAP to 'sidestep' OAUTH 2.0 (which interferes with direct scraping)
#
# This app looks in the mailbox EMAIL_ACCOUNT in the folder EMAIL_FOLDER for email from a GScript that sends contact information as a
# 3-column CSV (columns are name, label, number)
# Only email sent from SENT_FROM with a title containing SENT_TITLE** are accepted, lines without 3 columns are ignored.

Hi. I was using this script until Google finally deprecated its login method.

I've been looking for a replacement, and seems that the best way is using OAuth 2.0 for Devices. It has scope available for read-only access to contacts.

Unfortunately, I have not much time available for testing, but this blog post has code in Python that could be a good starting point for someone experienced in this language: http://blog.warehouseman.com/2014/09/gspreadHelloOAuthWorld.html.
