Non commercial solution to import contacts from google/hotmail/yahoo/etc

Dear Everyone,

Ive been looking for some contacts importer and found nummerous questions on this with no real solution.

Is there someone who could advice on a gem/plugin or way to achieve this?

So Far I only found google contacts api and the contacts gem ( outdated ) and in nummerous online topics only some commercial serivces like plaxo are mentioned, is there no free way of code to do this in rails?

It’s hard to standardize this because it depends heavily on the model you use in your rails app. It’s up to you to provide the mapping from their export data to your user model. That said, that doesn’t preclude a solution for a specific user schema floating out there somewhere.

I've heard of gems such as Contacts and Blackbook, but never used them myself.

Best,

use contacts gem
