How to import contact list from Yahoo, MSN in Java

Question

Hi All,

I want to import contact list from Yahoo and MSN by giving user name and password in Java. I can do this with Gmail easily. Can anybody give me code sample in Java for this? Any type of help we be appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

From the YAHOO Contacts API page here it does not appear they have a Java API straight away. However, if you are interested you could possibly write some simple http/network code around the GETs/POSTs to get these information. Here are the relevant URLs.

Answer 2

Check out http://www.cloudsponge.com. Includes libraries for JavaScript, PHP, and Ruby to import contacts from Yahoo, Gmail, Windows Live (MSN & Hotmail), plus AOL, Plaxo, Microsoft Outlook, and Apple Address Book.
