I have get the contacts from gmail,hotmail and yahoo email providers.
And i want to get contacts from any domain email addresss which users enter in a textbox. Is it feasible?
For example,
Here we can see the hotmail contact import: https://techjoomla.com/invitex/how-to-use-hotmailrest-api-to-import-contacts.html
Same way i want to import contacts from a domain email. i.e say if i have this email address test#stackoverflow.com and having few contacts.
Using PHP, i want to fetch the contacts from test#stackoverflow.com
Hope the above provided detailed explaination.
So, what you want is possible if that mail server allows you to access the contacts you have there. But, I am pretty sure that you will definitely not be allowed to fetch contacts from every single mail server you want. But, I would suggest you to give that try before losing hope.

I want to get email addresses from my account with API. I can get those emails from my contacts, but don't succeed to get those emails who are not in my contacts, but I had email conversations with them before. From where I can get any doc or information how to get that information from API?
I think your only option is going to be doing a user.messages.list loop though each message and run a user.messages.get and check the sender email address.
The API doesn't return the the information you are looking for. You could also just start adding these people to your contacts.
Its an interesting idea you may want to submit it as a feature request. Issue tracker
Is there an API to look up the same information that I can get from Gmail if I type someone's email address into Gmail's search bar and hit search? For most Gmail addresses, this shows me the person's full name.
I ask for people's email address when they sign up on my website, but not for their names. I'd like to add a personal greeting to the emails that I send out. Note that people have NOT signed up using Google+.
You're looking for the new People API.
I am working on a web apps with Asp.Net (C#) and I have a problem like this:
I will sent out an email for more than one person and there is a link in the email. If user click on the link I want to retrieve the email address of the respondent (as query string or whatever).
Is it possible?
How should I do?
Thanks in advance.
If you generate the emails dynamically, you can add a token to the url that is unique to each email address you send to. Your landing page will use the tokens to register a hit to a database.
On another note, please remember to handle information like email addresses with great care (i.e. securely), for example when storing them in a database.
I know this is likely to be answered "sorry buddy", but is there a way i can access my recently sent emails from another iOS app? I really don't need the contents of the emails just the addresses. Basically if you haven't stored the contact information in your address book, I still want to be able to pull those addresses.
For example in the email app, when you compose a new email, as you start typing in an email address it will try to autofill with recently sent/received email addresses. I'm trying to mimic this behavior.
Point me in the right direction if there is already a stack overflow question about this.
No, there is not API that will allow this.
Apps can't acces other apps data since they are sandboxed.
Given the quick answers I received confirming my suspicion that this can't be done, I'm thinking I will just provide a way people can set up email accounts the way the built-in mail app does it. By that I mean I will allow people to select from the major web-based mail providers like gmail, yahoo mail, .. then also allow them to create a mail account with their mail server (address, username, password, port, etc.)
It's kind of overkill since I just want their recently used email addresses, and will scare off people who don't want to give access to their personal mail, but if its all i can do then so be it.
I'm trying to build a web application in which users can invite their friends by using their email accounts (just like facebook). I use OAuth so that users don't need to enter password in my app. The problem is that I cannot figure out what is the correct YQL query to fetch contact names and email addresses from Yahoo social tables, and achieve the same result with facebook's Find Friends feature.
At first I used this:
SELECT * FROM social.contacts(0, 500) WHERE guid=me
With this query I hope I can get all contacts of the current logged in user, at once. But after parsing and selecting only records which have email field, the result list is far less than when I'm using facebook's Find Friends. I guess facebook does not only using Contacts tables, but also Profile tables, as I see it in the Yahoo authorization page when granting access permission to my private data.
So what is the correct YQL query to get all contact names and email addresses, using these two tables ?
After trying some tests, I discovered that when I import email addresses from my Yahoo contacts, Facebook automatically guesses the contact's email address in case that contact does not have an email field, by appending #yahoo.com to its yahooid field. As I see, this is totally wrong. Because with a yahooid, say "john123", the associated email may have an international domain like john123#yahoo.co.uk, john123#yahoo.com.vn etc.
I have a friend in my Yahoo contacts list. He has a yahooid which associates with a #yahoo.com.vn email address. Before importing my Yahoo contacts into Facebook, I made sure that there is no email field in his contact entry, just a name and a yahooid field. After importing into Facebook, Facebook determines my friend's email address as a #yahoo.com email. Of course the Facebook invitation mail never reach him.
And so, the answer to my question is: there is nothing wrong with my YQL. Facebook can fetch more email addresses than I do, but many of them are incorrect.
