Fetching contact information from XING
I have read another previous request that
was answered regarding my/your own profile and it was somehow solved by Rahul & Sam
...BUT...
I think the biggest part is to fetch the information of our contacts from Xing. As Alex said in the post, here in the german spoken countries this Professional Social Network is much more important than Linkedin.
I would appreciate any answer
Thanks

Hi Mario,
This is a great idea, we’d love to get information from XING too!
I’m not yet sure when we’ll do this, or how we’ll implement it (do you happen to know if XING have an API?)

Their API is now available, I still would love to see it integrated https://dev.xing.com/docs

They have an API now, but it's in closed beta at the moment: https://dev.xing.com

Hey folks, just to let you know: you can now add Xing profiles to your profile. Click on the 'my profile' link in the sidebar, then 'Add a social network' and paste in the address of your Xing profile.
This isn't quite as awesome as automatically searching for Xing profiles like we do with LinkedIn, but it's a first step.

Would be cool, Xing is really big in germany and nearly nobody uses LinkedIn here
