Windows live api get email contact vs email hash

Question

I am trying to get email contact from hotmail with php or javascript. I have read that windows live api return only hash of the email contact, and it is proved by the code example: http://isdk.dev.live.com/ISDK.aspx

But some web site like facebook can retrieve the plaintext of email contact from hotmail. How it is possible?

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Simply change the scope to:

wl.basic,wl.contacts_emails

Answer 2

You can test this code (dont forget to [SECRET API KEY] with your api key) :

<?php
function isEmail($email) {
return filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);
}

function unfucked_base_convert ($numstring, $frombase, $tobase) {
$chars = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
$tostring = substr($chars, 0, $tobase);

$length = strlen($numstring);
$result = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
    $number[$i] = strpos($chars, $numstring{$i});
}
do {
    $divide = 0;
    $newlen = 0;
    for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
        $divide = $divide * $frombase + $number[$i];
        if ($divide >= $tobase) {
            $number[$newlen++] = (int)($divide / $tobase);
            $divide = $divide % $tobase;
        } elseif ($newlen > 0) {
            $number[$newlen++] = 0;
        }
    }
    $length = $newlen;
    $result = $tostring{$divide} . $result;
}
while ($newlen != 0);
return $result;
}

function hexaTo64SignedDecimal($hexa) {
$bin = unfucked_base_convert($hexa, 16, 2);
if(64 === strlen($bin) and 1 == $bin[0]) {
    $inv_bin = strtr($bin, '01', '10');
    $i = 63;
    while (0 !== $i) {
        if(0 == $inv_bin[$i]) {
            $inv_bin[$i] = 1;
            $i = 0;
        }
        else {
            $inv_bin[$i] = 0;
            $i–;
        }
    }
    return '-'.unfucked_base_convert($inv_bin, 2, 10);
}
else {
    return unfucked_base_convert($hexa, 16, 10);
}
}
