I am new to SKYPE. I am wondering that can we call SKYPE API directly from URL? I found a thread asking something like that.

Can you retrieve your Skype status using JSONP?

Facebook, twitter,etc provide their API expose to developers to make direct call from app.

Is it possible to make direct API call in SKYPE?

thanks.

Grace,

I would suggest you to make a RESTFul Web Service and use the Skype API on the server side. You can easily expose all the Skype Services by exposing the different URLs.

JAX-RS using JAXB annotation will help you use JSON based communication between your browser and Web Service.

Hope it might help you.

    Note that this will only work if the Skype API works inside the web server. – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Jun 06 '11 at 07:40

  • Yes, Skype API will be on the server. And call web services to use the API. – Talha Ahmed Khan Jun 06 '11 at 09:06
