Overview

A contact can be linked to other contacts. This link is called a relationship. For instance, a contact can have an uncle, a lover, a protégé.

Each relationship has a relationship type. A contact can have as many relationships as necessary.

A relationship is between two contacts. Let's say John has an uncle called Peter. In this case:

• the primary contact is John. In the API calls below, John is called contact_is.
• the secondary contact is Peter. In the API calls below, Peter is called of_contact.

They are named that way so you can read a call more easily: contact_is is friend of_contact.
