how to ignore FB/Other social contacts in address book when counting contacts

Question

I need to get the count of only my local contacts from Address Book, not any social networks. How do i filter other contacts out programmatically?

In another words, how Contacts application shows separately iCloud groups and Facebook group. How do they filter?

Thanks!

Best way to do that is to use the Contact app and tab the groups button in the top left - at the bottom you will see your facebook contacts that you can de-select.

This will then give an accurate count of your contacts:-)

Note that this will not delete them, just filter them out.

Thanks for the answer, but I asked about Address Book API that I can use to do it. – Nava Carmon Nov 06 '12 at 08:35
