GoogleContactsAsteriskSync

Syncing your Google Contacts to a Asterisk phonebook for caller ID identification using python3.

Based on the idea I found here I created a script to sync Google Contacts with an Asterisk phonebook for caller ID identification.

Because the original script is a few years old, it doesn’t cover the OAuth 2.0 authentication mechanism to access the Google API. In my case I'm running a small Asterisk PBX a RaspberryPi. So I decided to use OAuth 2.0 for TV and Limited Input Device Applications.

How to use it

All Screenshots are in German, but I’m sure you’ll get the point.

1. Activate the Contacts API in the Google API console

2. Create a project

3. Create a confirmation screen and an OAuth-Client-ID

   

   

4. Edit the GoogleContactsAsteriskSync.py file to suit your needs

   # Formatting the numbers
   county_code = "43"
   contact_array = format_numbers(contact_array, county_code)

   Change the country_code to yours.

   # If the second argument is set the script will send the Asterrisk commands to the print console instead of the system console
   asterisk_input(contact_array, True)

   Change it to False to execute the Asterisk commands.

   contacts_array[i][1] = contact[1].replace(" ", "")
       contacts_array[i][1] = contact[1].replace("/", "")
       contacts_array[i][1] = contact[1].replace("+" + country_code, "0")
       contacts_array[i][1] = contact[1].replace("00" + country_code, "0")
       contacts_array[i][1] = contact[1].replace("+", "00")
       if contacts_array[i][0] == None:
           contacts_array[i][0] = "No Name"

   You can change the way the number is formatted in the format_numbers function.

5. Execute the script on your Asterisk machine
