Tutorial or Docs for updating Skype Bot code with Skype URIs

[sandeeprock12]

Hi,

Could anyone post some pointers towards tutorials or materials that they may be aware of for the building/updating a Skype bot using Skype URIs. I am unable to find any good stuff by just googling...

Thank you!

I read a little bit about the new uri api and if I understand it right it isn't possible to build a bot. According to the reference:

There is no way to listen to incoming messages to reply accordingly. I'm sorry to say that if you want to build a bot, you are stuck to older skype versions.

Thanks @taksan,

Received confirmation from the Skype Developer community that the Skype URIs cannot be used for getting any information from Skype. It can be used only for the below functionalities as of now:

Start the client start a chat (1:1 or group) Start a call (1:1 or group) Start a video call (1:1 or Group on a desktop)

It does not provide any information from Skype back to the 3rd party application. You can find out more about URIs here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn745878
