Power Your Search Apps with Yahoo! Search APIs

There’s been some discussion of late on search APIs. For those of you who might be looking for a Search API provider, may we offer you our complete set of Yahoo! Search Web Services for your programming pleasure?
With Yahoo! Search Web Services you can write programs using data from Local Search, News Search, Video Search and Web Search, among others. Our search APIs offer generous rate limits and are based on the REST specification. REST is relatively easy to get up to speed on and to use, no SOAP programming required.
Also, with our Site Explorer APIs, you can keep tabs on traffic and usage by querying for the pages in the Yahoo! index and the sites linking into a site. Additionally, we’ve recently added updateNotification, which you can use to update us of changes to your site.
If you have any questions or comments about our search APIs, please leave us a comment below, or better, suggest them at our Suggestion Board!

Can you give me my Google rankings too? No? Darn :)
Next to that: I love your API’s, you should just get rid of the 5000 query a day quotum… I’ve tried emailing about a higher quotum but didn’t get any response..
Good news! Even though most of us already knew of the Yahoo api I guess the developers over that used SOAP will now need a place to get their information.
Great and excellent article ts realy helpful. Thanks again.
If anyone is interested in some feedback from using Y’s API, I am posting this, our experiences (good and bad) using the API:

“net-net”: search company APIs are great as a first step in building an application, but you quickly see that unfortunately, it’s not a long term solution.

Well that’s a very good news for everyone who is looking forward for yahoo! to constantly grow in all kinds of service that it provides whether it is Yahoo! answers or API’s. I also love Yahoo API and I’ll keep a close watch on this post to keep myself updated regarding the same. Good job Yahoo!Keep it up.
Is there a license/enterprise version of API that allows more than daily limit of 5K queries? Want to use the APIs in a new local search destination.
