I'm creating a SkyDrive photo viewer - a Windows Phone 8 app. When retrieving a photo URL from the SkyDrive API, it expires after few hours. I need to send this link to my print out department, so they can print and deliver it to the customer. I am getting URLs like this:


How can I get an unexpired URL from SkyDrive API? I am using Microsoft Live Controls.

SkyDrive URLs expire (after some time) by design, this is done intentionally to avoid abuse and misuse of the service.
An API for Skydrive has been created but I don't really know if its useful and/or safe; I just read the referred links.
More information about the SkyScraper API created by Tim Acheson can be found in his website.
Hope other users report on this.
