The Yahoo! Search team is excited to release the technical specification for Yahoo! Search BOSS v2. We’ve been hard at work getting ready to launch a new version of BOSS (as we announced in October 2010) and last month we provided further details to help developers prepare for the transition.
The Yahoo! Search BOSS v2 API Guide can be found here. It includes:
- Information on using oAuth with the new API.
- Syntax specification on querying the API and the format of the returned results.
- Syntax for calling Ads from the platform (available to qualified developers).
- Markets supported by the product.
Thank you for your continued support around the product. We look forward to bringing the new BOSS to you soon.

Please, add the linkdomain: operator in the new Boss API
A lot of people will never pay for your API without the inlink data.

I miss that se_inlink too! Its still on http://developer.yahoo.com/search/boss/boss_guide/site_explorer.html so thats confusing.. is the info on hat link true, or old? Is it just the inlink description is not added yet?
The doc says “Each query will return a predetermined number of results.” Since we pay per query, the number of results per query is important — how many is it?
Will the new version of BOSS provide access to the cached pages of search result?
I am still in confusion about this AP.I think yahoo should clear it more.Thanks anyway for informing this one news.
I am not clear how BOSS will perform.
