I have read documentation about Windows Live API: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb463989.aspx
But how can I retrieve contacts from hotmail with python ?
Is there any example ?
Your program will first need to obtain “delegated authentication”, for which the Python samples are here.
After that, the interface is REST-like: you only need to HTTP GET the appropriate URI (per the docs, that’s ‘/LiveContacts/contacts’ to retrieve all contacts. The REST Schema is documented here. You can make an HTTP GET request in Python with such standard library modules as urllib and urllib2, though the lower-level httplib module is also fine.
