Yahoo’s APIs

Posted on April 27, 2005

Did you realize how many APIs Yahoo offers for developers? I didn’t.

Need spelling check in your web app? Use Yahoo’s.

Want to extract key words and phrases from a long passage of text? Here you go.

There’s even an API for their new MyWeb service. I don’t know what that even does but it’s cool that they have hooks available for it, in case you’ve figured it out.

Meanwhile, the Google API hasn’t changed since August 2002! C’mon guys, get with the program.
