use People API to get implicit Contacts (from recent communication)

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to get a full list of a user's contacts (saved contacts and not saved contacts from email, calendar ...).

I've used the people API for the second part (not saved contacts). But I receive almost no result. It seems like the relevance of some contacts prevents the api from sending them back to me.

Is there a way to retrieve all those implicit contacts (as named in the doc) put aside the relevance of the contact with the user ?

Thanks

Hi Aymeric Secret,

To get a contact collection from the default contacts folder of the signed-in user:

GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/contacts
