## API Resources

### contactGroups

  - `batchGet`, Get a list of contact groups owned by the authenticated user by specifying a list of contact group resource names.
  - `create`, Create a new contact group owned by the authenticated user. Created contact group names must be unique to the users contact groups. Attempting to create a group with a duplicate name will return a HTTP 409 error. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
  - `delete`, Delete an existing contact group owned by the authenticated user by specifying a contact group resource name. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
  - `get`, Get a specific contact group owned by the authenticated user by specifying a contact group resource name.
  - `list`, List all contact groups owned by the authenticated user. Members of the contact groups are not populated.
  - `update`, Update the name of an existing contact group owned by the authenticated user. Updated contact group names must be unique to the users contact groups. Attempting to create a group with a duplicate name will return a HTTP 409 error. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
  - `members`, Operations on the 'members' resource
