Limit to number of contacts retrieved?

Hello,
For each api query, is there a limit of around 50 contacts that can be retrieved?
I am trying to send a query without any search criteria. This should retrieve all contacts, according to the docs.
But I get only 50 contacts per query.
(I understand there is a limit of 5000 queries per day per IP account.)
Thanks,
Ramesh

  • Hi Ramesh,

    Just to follow up on your message, I was wondering if you could provide more details on what you're doing exactly. Are you using YQL to capture contact information and that's what's giving you a maximum of 50 contacts, or are you using the getContacts method in the PHP SDK to capture the contacts?

    If you are using the PHP SDK getContacts method, there are a few parameters you may have to set in order to return all contacts. That was addressed in this post: http://developer.yahoo.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=622

  • Hello Jonathan,
    I am using Ruby on Rails and following the steps outlined here:

    I don't think this uses YQL, but not sure.
    Thanks a lot,

  • Nope I was thinking you were collecting the data from a different source. I'll send this message on to some of the developers who may be able to give you a hand.

  • Hi,

    I'm the author of the article in the YDN blog. You're right Ramesh, it doesn't use YQL, rather it uses the older Address Book APIs.
