Windows Live Contacts API Methods: GET

The HTTP/1.1 GET method request is used to retrieve all data, including any child elements and containers, at the level that is specified by the Uniform Resource Indicator (URI).


The GET method does not return string or timestamp elements that are currently set to the null value. However, the GET method does return all numeric, fixed enumeration value, and Boolean elements, except those that are not included in any optional filter definition. For more information about filters, see Windows Live Contacts API: Field and Depth Filtering
