Link no longer exists. Might want to use http://developer.skype.com/. Not sure if you have to sign up to the BETA though? – Joel Kennedy Jul 20 '10 at 13:41

I am talking about July 2010.

Skype has a very bad documentation out there. Putting more or less business tricks rather then developers freedom
Personally i dont prefer this, but its ok to use for C#: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/SEHE
Working in Linux/Unix is nightmare to make things for Skype.

God bless skype for linux.

I agree, I gave up on trying to do anything useful with their API, it sucks balls and reminds me of sendKeys, rather than a serious API. – JL. Jul 20 '10 at 14:34
@JL, did you find anything for this then? – strider Apr 04 '14 at 15:12

You can import the Skype API DLL (Skype4COM) to your project as a reference, than you can access the stuff inside.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wkze6zky%28v=vs.80%29.aspx

To add a reference in Visual C# or Visual J#

In Solution Explorer, right-click on the project node and click Add Reference.
In the Add Reference dialog box, select the tab indicating the type of component you want to reference.
Select the components you want to reference, then click OK.
