SkypeTracer.gifDo you want to know what the Skype API does? SkypeTracer is (there are others too) one of the small applications that enable you to see how "you" can instruct Skype to do your bidding through the API. If you want to create a program to access the power of Skype this is a good starting point.

Hi there. For those of you who want to start using the Skype API but feel uncomfortable with windows messages I prepared a small tracing utility that realizes all the power of Skype API

Take SkypeTracer in the right hand and Skype API reference in the left hand. So, now you're ready for using it.

What you need to get started:

Download Skype API Manual
Download SkypeTracer

Install SkypeTracer, let it run for a few minutes and you will see the information Skype is feeding to the API. Usually online and offline changes. Then try something like "GET USERSTATUS" and it will report to you your current status etc. Test out the codes and dream about what you can add to Skype.
