Is it still possible to get Skype's user online status?

As the title says, is it still possible to check a user's status (online, offline, busy...) on Skype after the (big) change in its API service? Developers section seems very very limited now: http://developer.skype.com/

How long until Skype shows inactive?

With the default settings Skype status will change to "Inactive" after you have not moved your mouse on your desktop for 5 minutes. Your status will then change to "Away" after another 5 minutes of inactivity.

How can I hide my last seen on Skype 2022?

Tap your profile picture > Tap the Settings button > Tap Privacy > then you can toggle Show my presence to others on or off.

Why does Skype say someone is online when they are not?

The possible scenario is that the person you tried to call has only recently signed out of Skype. The status may still be shown as Active Now, even though the person is actually not Online anymore. It can take up to 6 - 8 minutes the status to be updated.

UPDATE 2014-12-19:

It is important to know: checking a skype status works ONLY if the user has enabled "my status in internet" or "Mein Status darf im Netz veröffentlicht werden" (in german). Otherwise the status is alway "offline"
