Gettting contacts nick name using Message API

Hi All,

I am currently using Yahoo Messenger SDK API to retrieve users groups and contact list. I am using "/v1/groups" to get groups passing parameters fields=+groups&fields=+contacts but don't know how to get nick names of the contacts. I also try adding fields=+addressbook but it doesn't contain any data.

Can somebody suggest me the correct way to getting messenger list contacts Nick names/

thanks,

    Hi Ashish,
    We don't currently have the feature available through the IM APIs. We're looking to implement this requirement, but I don't have a concrete implementation timeline. There's an alternate option you can use in the meantime.. You can use the Yahoo Contacts API directly to get nickname information for contacts in a user's addressbook
