Hi
I have a problem with the Phonebook API - basically the full Phonebook call
(/my/phonebook) returns a list of all contacts in the user's personal
phonebook in an XML format, but there is no "unique" identifier provided
with each entry.
Now the API supports interrogating a specific Phonebook "entry" - e.g.
calling /my/phonebook/entry/1 - which is fine, however the entry ID has
absolutely no correlation to the full phonebook list called by
/my/phonebook. I was expecting in the absence of an "entry" ID in the full
list that the entries would at least maintain the same order in the list
(i.e. entry ID 1 would come first, entry ID 2 would come second and so on),
however that doesn't appear to the case.
Also closely related is when you issue a search query - e.g. calling
/my/search/phonebook?query={search-query} - you don't get back the entry ID
in the response.
The lack of a unique Identifier makes it very difficult to delete a contact
using the APIs, as you need to reference an entry ID when you delete. The
only way I can see to do this currently is to get the full list, get a count
of phonebook entries, and then iterate from 1 up to the count to determine
the entry ID for each entry - not ideal at all!
Regards
Justin
