Is there a way to find Favorite contacts from the iOS Address Book API? I’m referring to the contacts a user places in his Favorites tab in the Contacts app.

Favorites are stored inside Phone.app, not inside the Address Book database itself. You can’t access other app’s sandbox on a non-jailbroken iPhone, so unfortunately the answer is no.
Also, it would be pretty bad for privacy if any app could see your favorite contacts. It’s already bad that it can access entire address book without asking you.
