Web2Messenger is a tool/WebSite that enables users to message MSN users that are registered via a ‘bot’. This service is provided free of charge, while they provide a simple API of requesting data ie Status, Display Name and Personal Message, they do not provide any code that will grab and manipulate the data.
So I have attempted to provide an API library of functions which will retrieve data. W2M dont provide any documentation or code on how to send messages apart from a custom web form, so this library also aims to include a function which will simply send a message without any user interaction and will not display any W2M pages etc.
This API library might not be much use to anyone but it was written for me to over come some problems I had while I integrated W2M into my dissertation.
Download the W2M API Library (w2m.zip) and give it a go!
