Delete Contact

Hello,

I'm trying to delete a contact using the Contact API. So far all methods have worked but this one.
I'm using the same URL for retrieving a single contact (http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/user/{guid}/contact/{contactid}) but instead of GET I use a DELETE method. The response given is 403 (Forbidden) with an HTML content in the body.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

  • Hello,

    Does GET /contacts work for you? Do you have a consumer key that allows for write access? Finally, what's the contents of the HTML reply?

  • Hi,

    Delete contact has stop working. Like 1 month ago I had an application that add and delete contacts from Yahoo. Today, I tested the application again (I have not changed anything in the app) and the delete contact is not working. It is giving me a Forbidden error too.

    Do you know why is it giving this error?

    Just in case, I create an API key again and I set the permissions again for the Contact API (Read and Write) but not working either.

    This is the response I get from fiddler:

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Access Denied</TITLE>
    </HEAD>

    <BODY BGCOLOR='white' FGCOLOR='black'>
    <H1>Access Denied</H1>
    <HR>

    <FONT FACE='Helvetica,Arial'><B>
    Description: You are not allowed to access the document you requested.
    </B></FONT>
    <HR>
    </BODY>

    Hope someone can help me because it is really important for me.

    Thanks in advance!
