Get Hotmail Contacts
Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 3:20 pm
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????
