SOAP API get contacts matching given phone number

[bhavionline]

Hello Folks,

I want to query the zimbra contacts database.
I want to get the contacts from all zimbra users which have the phone number matching the number i provide in the query say something similiar to query like this
Select name,email,phoneno,mobileno from users where phoneno like '77686%' or mobileno like '768768%'
I am new to zimbra, although i went through the posts and found that zimbra is not storing the user contacts in LDAP however has a SOAP api to access the same.
Could some one help me how i can acheive what i want using the API.

Thanks
Bhavi

You'll want SearchRequest with the type set to contact.

See the query language in the above post that may help like the contact: operator.

Hi,

i want to make an integration with asterisk phone server and query the zimbra addressbok for the FullName to the CallerID.

i did some tests with the scripts found at SourceForge.net Repository - [zimbra] Index of /trunk/ZimbraServer/src/perl/soap

but i still have some questions:

1) search for a contact detail isn't possible? workPhone,email?
2) the * is ignored at a beginning of a query? "*99*" search for "99*"
3) build a soap query with the phone number and parse the response for FullName is the best way to get name to number? any other/better way?

has someone already implemented a script for asterisk agi to lookup the name in the zimbra adressbook? maybe he could share that with us

Thanks
Martin

I appreciate resurrecting such a old thread is bad form; yet as this is not release dependent I am doing so. Like yourself I am trying to do exactly the same of querying the Zimbra contacts based on the CLI from Asterisk. If a match is found then the CNAM can be set accordingly. I am in a quandary now as whether to use Perl or PHP for the SOAP interface. Did you get any where with your project as it would be great to double team.
