On Vox: Windows Live API, better than page scraping

[lindner]

So we use this toolkit from Octazen to scrape contact lists off of various sites.  Our ever eager users (ab)used this feature so much that hotmail blocked us.

So I waded through reams of API docs over at http://dev.live.com and finally came up with this prototype perl script to talk to their API

Very nice

Very nice indeed.

We've used another protocol called DeltaSync to fetch/update contacts as well in another project, but that was more for contacts sync.

I guess this seems simpler for fetching conacts.
We'll add them to our Hotmail importer implementation for your benefit :)
