This page is about WebAPI presence methods, in a series for the WebAPI reference manual.

getPresence

Get the Presence information for one or more target users. Can also be used to retrieve the presence for the entire Buddy List. Can be used with an aimsid, with a token, or anonymously with no aimsid or token. In anonymous mode only users who allow anonymous presence will appear online. The Buddy List query does not work anonymously, for obvious reasons. To reduce the amount of data returned, it is possible to turn some of the fields off.

This method allows both Web AIM Keys and the previously support Presence Keys.
