This API takes a single parameter, which can be either a name “Robert Smith”, or an email address “robert.smith@hotmail.com“

The response will be in JSON, following a format similar to this;

{
  "requestId": "689067",
  "results": [
    {
      "nodeProfileData": {
        "skypeId": "bobbys88881",
        "name": "Rob Smith",
        "avatarUrl": "https://api.skype.com/users/bobbys88881/profile/avatar",
        "country": "Ireland",
        "countryCode": "ie",
        "contactType": "Skype4Consumer",
        "avatarImageUrl": "https://avatar.skype.com/v1/avatars/bobbys88881/public"
      }
    }
  ]
}
