Is there a way to implement skype API in C# or any other language.

I was using Skype4com.DLL but it is deprecated not working with the skype latest updates. I was using it in a Skype plugin(windows application) to log in and make calls. As an alternative, I thought UCWA Skype Web SDK would be the best solution, but it serves a different purpose.

There are companies that are still using it like https://www.minutizer.com/. I can't figure out the way they are able to detect calls and messages.

Help needed! Thanks

According to: Skype Developer Platform supported topologies you can choose from:

You can also choose to use Lync SDK -

By using Lync 2013, a developer can provide instant messaging (IM), voice, video, application sharing, and meeting session functionality in a custom client or LOB application

Skype has discontinued the desktop API in 2013. As a result, you wouldn't find any libraries supporting skype programmatically. That's the reason for deprecating libraries like Skype4com and Skype4Java.

The best option for you to implement voice, SMS or video calling is to use a service like Twilio or Plivo which are having wide support for many programming languages including C#.

    @devedv Minutizer is just tracking calls and SMS of particular Skype account. Its not used for making calls or SMS. Check their site https://www.minutizer.com/how-it-works/#tab-id-2 – DinushaNT Dec 24 '19 at 10:38
