How to get profile pictures of each contact

I'm using the REST API from Windows Live Connect. I can get all contacts from an user but I don't understand how to get their profile photo.

Here is the manual I'm using. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/live/hh243648.aspx

I'm using the scope: wl.basic and in a first time sent a request to https://apis.live.net/v5.0/me/contacts.

Solution

  • If you look under the details of the user request, it has a note that tells how to get the picture

    To get a User object by using the Live Connect REST API, make a GET request to either /me, or /USER_ID.

    Note To redirect a GET call to the URL of a user's picture, you can call /me/picture or /USER_ID/picture.
