Is there any libraries could import contacts from hotmail/live/aol account?

Question

I've import contacts from gmail by using gdata api, and is there any apis like that for hotmail/live/Aol ?

Answer 1

If you are able to export from them to the standard vCard format, you can read and process vCard data using the vobject package.

Answer 2

Hotmail/Live

There is Windows Live Contact API for Hotmail/Live mail, which is similar to GData API.

AOL

As far as I remember AOL doesn't provide API to access its address book, however they working on it (for long time)...

Answer 3

There is Windows Live Contact API for Hotmail/Live mail. Yahoo Contact API for Yahoo also exists, but to this date, no AOL contact api.

I would suggest you try openinviter (openinviter.com) to import contacts. Unfortunately, you will not have OAuth capabilities, but it is the best class out there and works with 90+ different email providers.

Note: it is written in php, but creating a wrapper won't be too hard.
