Tag api

Yahoo! have released an API to allow applications to access users address books without asking for a username and password. These API's are slowly becoming more and more available from various data providers, and it's a great way of breaking the scarily traditional "Enter your username and password so we can fetch your contacts" process.

Now all we need is a Python interface to it :)

The Contacts Data API allows client applications to view and update a user's contacts. Contacts are stored in the user's Google Account; most Google services have access to the contact list.

Your client application can use the Contacts Data API to create new contacts, edit or delete existing contacts, and query for contacts that match particular criteria.
