contacts

I have a website where I want to allow the users to invite their friends, by getting their contacts in hotmail/msn.

Google has the google contacts API for these purposes, does MSN publish a similar javascript API?

Please note that I do not want to ask the user for their username/password like http://openinviter.com/ .

Also, if anyone can provide some tutorials / examples I would appreciate it, as Microsoft docs are usually hard to understand :)
