AIM URL Documentation
I just added a new page on the AIM Developer site for documenting AIM URLs that are supported by the AIM 6.9 client. Look on the Documentation pane to the left of the http://dev.aol.com/aim site and follow the URL to the AIM URL Documentation.
The AIM URLs are a methodology used to send commands that are executed by the AIM 6.9 client for automatically creating an Instant Message, a chat room, or a Buddy List entry.
URLs can allow web pages to pass commands to AIM clients.
You can launch AIM: URLs in several ways:
1. In Windows, enter the command in the Run dialog from the Start Menu.
2. Click on a hyperlink in the IM history window.
3. Click on a hyperlink in a web page (or just type the URL in the browser’s URL field).
They will work when the user is already online with AIM, when the client is not launched and when the client is launched but not signed on it will prompt to do so.
The URLS documented are…
aim:AddBuddy
aim:AIMToday
aim:BuddyIcon
aim:CheckMail
aim:DockBuddyList
aim:GoAway
aim:GoChat
aim:GoIM
aim:GoTalk
aim:Prefs
aim:RegisterUser
aim:SetItem
aim:SetOption
aim:SetStatus
Here is a link to Gus’s website to some handy tools that help you create some of these AIM URLs.
Excellent resource, Thank you.
I’ve implemented a subset of these in my client so this documentation will definitely come in handy to expand the feature.
You are welcome!!
