I'm currently developing an app that fetches my contacts in my Microsoft account.
The problem is, unlike Google, when I send or receive an email to/from a new contact, it isn't copied into My Contacts, so I can't get it through https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/contacts.
However, when I wrote a new email, it appears as a suggestion, so I guess it is stored somewhere else.
The question is: is there a way to access to my suggested contacts through the API to get their emails? And how?
Thank you 😊
This feature is only available in beta version for now, please see the following api:
https://outlook.office.com/api/beta/me/contacts?$select=EmailAddresses,GivenName,Surname,DisplayName
This api will return all the contacts that you have received an email from or sent an email to :)
The closest thing to what you're looking for is the People API. As that page says:
The People API returns relevent person entities with each request. A person aggregates information from across mail, contacts and social networks. The results are ordered by their relevance, which is determined by the criteria specified in the request and ranked based on multiple communication, collaboration and business relationships.

I'm developing a client jabberd application for mobile(android) using (a)Smack.
Since, in my application, the users are registered by their phone numbers, the application should be able to recognize which contact has a jabber account on the server and suggest him/her for chatting.
After googlling the web I found that there is a jabber user directory (JUD) which I can use to check there is an account for a specific mobile number or not. (I'm using UserSearchManager).
My questions:
1- It seems that there is no record in JUD for a user who has not updated his vCard yet, so I cannot find him. Is there any solution to check the existence of this kind of users?
2- It seems that by using JUD, everyone outside of my application can fetch some important information of users such as mobile numbers, emails, etc. Is there any solution to limit JUD search engine? (for example, getting only "user field" as a input and returning only "full name field" of existing accounts or other useful limitation).
So by this way, I can recognize which person from the contact list has an account on the server and also other people cannot fetch important information of the exiting users.
Any command or advice is appreciated. Thank you.
I do not think it is possible as default, without customizing ejabberd application code.
I have been searching for this on internet for some time now but I havent found any results yet. I am not sure what its called or how I can do this. I have a website and I would like to give the user the oppurtunity, just like twitter does, to send invitation to all of thier contact list, through hotmail or gmail or yahoo contact list that they have... does anyone know what its called. let me know if you have any question, The site its Java based
may you get help from this, this is a library by using which you can import contact from other account also manage users, groups and permission in your own application .
From yahoo you can use the API see
http://developer.yahoo.com/social/rest_api_guide/contacts-resource.html
You will probably have to use JSON from java see
http://www.json.org/java/
Also see
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2728421/how-to-import-contact-list-from-yahoo-msn-in-java
There is also socialauth see

This does not work with hotmail presently apparently, just google and yahoo.
My company develop a product for customer support on Facebook and we want to give the representatives a way to contact the customer via Facebook Chat.
I have read the Chat API documentations and it is not clear whether users MUST be friends on Facebook in order to chat or is it just enough they both installed a Facebook app? more limitations?
any insight will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for you answers,

Facebook provides an XMPP port to the outside world while internally it implements MQTT. As per XMPP specs, messaging works between two entities without they being in each other roster list (friend/contact list). However, Facebook seems to have this limitation as part of their own business requirement. I think even GoogleTalk disallows this if two federated entities try to send message to each other without being on the roster list.
In short, yes you can just send the message. You don't need a presence authorization from someone in order to send messages to them (in XMPP world). HOWEVER, some services has a policy of requiring this, despite the fact that this is not mandated by the XMPP specifications.
I have a website with a "contact me" form. Users can leave their name, email, and message and I'll get an email containing their data.
I've set up a goal on Google Analytics for the registration and everything works fine.
Now, the question is: Can I see their names and emails on my Analytics? Is there any way to make Google Analytics save that data and show it to me?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
Theoretically this can be done using custom variables. See: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingCustomVariables.html
However, I believe that name and email address are considered Personally Identifiable Information so sending it to Google Analytics is most likely against their Terms of Service. See section 7: http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/tos.html
You would need to use another tracking system such as Piwik: http://piwik.org/
You can try using event tracking.

I am having difficult time in importing contact details from MSN/YAHOO/AOL/GMAIL etc. Can someone tell me how to get the contacts from these networks?
Yahoo Address Book API
Google Contacts API
Windows Live Contacts API
One of the ways is to use the open source library SocialAuth.net
It allows you to get contacts from all the three above, with a very simple API.
