I am trying to write a script that will allow people to invite friends from their address book to my site. I already have Gmail and Yahoo working through their respective API's, but I am having major issues with Hotmail (Live). I tried using their Live API but it only outputs email hashes to match emails, it doesn't actually allow you to access your contacts.
Does anyone know of a script or a way of accessing Hotmail contacts? Hotmail use to have a Contacts API, but that has been depreciated.
Maybe connect through an Exchange server and scrape the contacts? Curl/scrape the website?
I can't figure anything out and it has been 5 days. I am about to rip my hair out. Why doesn't dumbass Microsoft have API access to contacts anymore????

Re: Get Hotmail Contacts
No experience with this myself, but if it's been haunting you for several days, I'd indeed give it a try and curl/scrape the damn thing. Ugly, but works, and independent of retarded MS APIs
