Can the Google People API retrieve frequent contacts?

Question

When I make requests I do not get frequent contacts, just saved. I understand this technically "is working correctly" but the google Contacts API documentation (which does show frequent contacts) states:

Note: For read-only access to users' contacts, use the People API, which provides both contact and profile information, and does not use the older GData protocol.

Feel like that's telling me People API is a newer version of Contacts that supports the read only version of Contacts, so I'd assume it should exist.

I would expect sortOrder would include a MOST_CONTACTED_ASCENDING or some such value if this was a supported feature. – Botanical

It does, but those do not include frequent contacts – Perrone

Also, whoever down voted, please explain why – Perrone

the docs I link to do not have the sorting feature I mentioned. – Botanical

@Extravaganza That answer isn't correct, as it doesn't show how to list them with contacts api. – Heiner
