I want to add contact fetch (gmail,AOL,hotmail,yahoo) script in my social networking site using zend-framework.
Any one can tell me how to do this ?
imo, you would have to log in to the account, get the contact book, scrape the info, show the user the contacts and let him confirm the ones he wants to add, you may also have to have a look at the google api to achieve this.
Still, this is just how i would give it a go. :)

Dear Stackoverflow Community,
I am an Online Marketer and I am facing a problem: People are not converting when visiting my page through a smartphone. My interpretation is: they are lazy, as I am too.
I am not too terrible deep into programming Wordpress, but I thought about something and seeking advise:
I want to to build a Opt-In Form, which uses Facebooks "Social Login"
to process the Lead.
I need to find a way to get the "E-Mail-Adress" through the Facebook open graph API.
I generated a lead with one simple click.
I guess Online Marketers are graving for a feature like this!
So my question is:
Do you think it is possible to build a Wordpress Opt-In Form which uses Social Login (Facebook, Google) to receive E-Mail-Adresses from my users?
Maybe someone has some experience with this.
Best wishes
Dennis
I don't think there is a way to capture user's email address from facebook without permission of that user. However, there are a number of plugins that show popups and widgets to get users to subscribe to your newsletter etc.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/optin-forms/screenshots/
Also, if your content is good and if you create a catchy Call to Action, then it's possible to get more people to subscribe to your blog.
Isn't the process of opting into a subscription more involved than simply entering a name and email? Personally, I will ignore an optin form that requires me to do a social login.
Using a regular WordPress opt-in form plugin would suffice.
By the way, do you have any data that shows conversion is low because social login isn't present?
I currently have Google OAuth 2.0 for authentication. Next I want to be able to use google hangouts in my website so users can chat with each other, along with showing their contact list. So basically I want it to look like how it is on gmail but on my website for hangouts. Main reason for doing this, I want my users to be able use hangouts as a mode of communication. Please let me know if this is possible and provide the necessary resources, an example/demo of this working would really be helpful.
Im afraid there's no API at the moment available (nor plans for that) to access the text chat feature of Hangouts.
yes, you can. More information about google hangouts API here https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/getting-started
I am trying to have a user sign up for a service via a PHP form and upon successful validation of their yahoo email prompt them to allow my application access to their contacts list (i.e. import the list) and ask them to send a message to their contacts.
Unfortunately I don't really know where to start, the code samples on the yahoo site itself are a little bit too advanced and not direct enough.
Can someone point me to a similar code sample or sketch out quasi-code? I want to actually learn how to do this...so i don't want ready made scripts to download...unless they are a tutorial/other pedagogical resource...
Thanks!
You can start here (official)
But this is the best I found so far Grab Yahoo! at phpclasses.org.. (you need to be a registered user to access file). There are download links at the bottom of page.
Try keywords like "php grab yahoo contacts" in Google for more solutions.
i am trying to find a web service that allows a user to send a company name (or better still will return a list of all company names, thus allowing the user to select one) and then get the share price, this will then feed in to another api - yahoo currency converter to work out the price of the share
the issue i am having is that i cannot find a web service to get share info, google registration for theres does not seem to be working and as such i dont no what to do
i am to be coding this in php
if anyone could point me to a good web service i would appreciate it
thanks
edit : i did find this but am unsure if it is appropriate http://www.xignite.com/xGlobalQuotes.asmx?WSDL
How about:

They get their data from Yahoo Finance, so I'm sure Yahoo would have an API somewhere. This page may help: http://developer.yahoo.com/finance/
I need to add an invite users functionality to my social networking application so users can invite contacts from their hotmail or yahoo accounts. How do I do this and are there any free open source libraries that do this?
Depending on the service you wish to get the contact information from they might already provide a published API for you.
For example, Yahoo has a contact list API you could use: http://developer.yahoo.com/social/rest_api_guide/contact_api.html
Google also has one: http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/
And so does Windows Live: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb463974.aspx
If you need something to work with a service without an API then you might have to ask that user for his username and password, use it temporarily to log into his account, download the contact information and then discard the login details. There are obvious privacy and security issues with this approach, however. Nevertheless, it is used quite frequently by many social networking sites.
The same approach can also be used to retrieve buddy information from instant messaging services. You log in (perhaps using an open source IM API) and get their buddy list and contact details.
Just in case anyone was interested - I would like to share this neat piece of code I found off the web. Its free and very easy to setup and integrate. http://openinviter.com is php based and you can extract email contacts from just about any address book there is.
You just need to have curl set up for this.
