I am working on Skype integration with android.i am not getting any type of SDK or API that will make to get information easily.

I am using URI concept to call,video call or chat in Skype with android. i find 1 link to get status of Skype user:

http://mystatus.skype.com/skype_user_name

but this url is not working properly.

*i want to get all contact list from Skype programmatic *

Please help me. I have done lots of search. But I didn't get anything related this.

    After looking to issue list of that repo,I doubt that it won't work.Skype has shut down the api in december.and skype doesn't provide any sdk to communicate using client apps.Sorry! – Mehul Joisar Feb 13 '14 at 06:28
  • @MehulJoisar but this python may be workful code for me... but i don't know how to convert that code into android – dipali Feb 13 '14 at 06:30
  • That is for desktop client.kindly go through it if you find any working APIs in that code then you can directly use it in android as webservice call. – Mehul Joisar Feb 13 '14 at 06:32

**It will not work**

Microsoft killed Skype third-party tools for the desktop and there are no sdk's for Skype development.


Like you alreaddy mentioned, the most you can do is use URIs to open the users skype client:

  • Switching focus to the Skype client. (See Start/switch focus to the Skype client.)

  • Initiating audio calls to other Skype users, phones, or mobiles—both one-to-one dialogs and multi-party conferences. (See Audio call—implicit.)

  • Initiating video calls to another Skype user. (See Video call.)

  • Sending instant messages to an individual or establishing a group multi-chat. (See Chats.)
