Is there a way to get the Suggested Contacts through Outlook API?

I'm currently developing an app that fetches my contacts in my Microsoft account. The problem is, unlike Google, when I send or receive an email to/from a new contact, it isn't copied into My Contacts, so I can't get it through https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/contacts.

However, when I wrote a new email, it appears as a suggestion, so I guess it is stored somewhere else.

The question is: is there a way to access to my suggested contacts through the API to get their emails? And how?

Thank you 😊

The closest thing to what you're looking for is the People API. As that page says:

The People API returns relevent person entities with each request. A person aggregates information from across mail, contacts and social networks. The results are ordered by their relevance, which is determined by the criteria specified in the request and ranked based on multiple communication, collaboration and business relationships.

This feature is only available in beta version for now, please see the following api:

https://outlook.office.com/api/beta/me/contacts?$select=EmailAddresses,GivenName,Surname,DisplayName

This api will return all the contacts that you have received an email from or sent an email to :)
