It depends, which service provider contacts you want to import. For Example - Gmail, Yahoo etc.

For Yahoo -
http://developer.yahoo.com/openid/

http://developer.yahoo.com/social/contacts/

For Gmail -
https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OpenID

If you are willing to use third-party(some are paid) APIs then you may have a look at below links.
