Outlook.com (prv Hotmail) doesn't provide email address anymore about omnicontacts HOT 8 CLOSED

hi, this works for me https://gist.github.com/clouw/5871254

Due to msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/live/hh243648.aspx#contact you should only receive email hashes.

Please have a look at the README. Hotmail returns a Contact object which does not contain an e-mail field! However, if the contact has either name, family name or both set to null, than there is a field called name which does contain the e-mail address. This means that it may happen that an Hotmail contact does not contain the email field.
I have tried using entry["emails"]["preferred"] but it did not work for me.

You can check out this thread, hotmail api have undocumented scope wl.contacts_emails, that used by Google, Linkedin, etc by agreement with the Microsoft. A lot of people claimed that this scope still can be used by any app.

I tried it and get invalid_scope error, seems like they fixed this hole :)

So now the only way to get email is to rely on missing first_name and last_name.

I agree with @dpsk

@Diego81 @dpsk - sorry to raise a ghost, but I just want to confirm... Other than hoping that a Hotmail user's contacts are missing first_name and last_name, there is no way to get email addresses out of Microsoft's API, correct?

@cweilemann, you are right, right now there is no way to fetch email addresses out of Hotmail :(

I have tried using entry["emails"]["preferred"] and adding wl.contacts_emails in scope it worked for me.
