* depends on how many pages Google returns
$ paged, so depends on how many pages Google returns. However, if using the option to walk the tree (instead of having Google manage how the results are returned), it will make at least one request per level in the heirarchy before it also pages for levels containing enough items

• Are you polling the API changes to user resources? - What is meant by this? The documentation doesn't show a way to do this ([https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/guides/search-users).

The documentation doesn't show a way to do this (https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/guides/search-users).

To clarify on polling the API to check if a user's resource changes. Basically making queries to the API to see if any resources have changed. For this, we recommend using push notifications: https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/guides/push. You can watch for changes to user resources and receive notifications from the Directory API whenever a watched user resource changes.

A few issues with user.watch:

• It requires a publicly visible HTTPS endpoint, would this be an issue?
• The .NET documentation doesn't mention push/watch at all;
• The reference guide only discusses requesting the watch, but not listening for the notifications. I assume this is because each language will host the endpoint in their own way;
• type is a required field, however, the reference guide doesn't say what value it should contain. Found online that it might be "web_hook";
• The .NET API doesn't appear to be complete, the returned channel has no event or hook to wait for pushed notifications.

This is why I hadn't proceeded, because it didn't look possible.
