Article on working with Yahoo API published

default — by TDavid @ 12:02 am PST

My article on working with the Yahoo API was just published today by the folks at Informit. There are PHP code examples for many of the different Yahoo! web services. I added this to the Yahoo developer wiki as well.

For those who don’t know, Informit is the publisher behind the Sam’s books, those awesome Peachpit Press Quick Reference Guides, and more. I love the Peachpit Press books! I was so totally stoked when an Informit editor contacted me to have the opportunity to write something for them. I have signed up so I could follow the commentary. I hope developers enjoy and find it to be useful for working with the Yahoo API.

Did this post make you go hmm?

  1. Hey mate, do you have the name / email of your editor there? I wrote an article earlier this year that I never got paid for. Thanks to my PC crash, I no longer have any contact info…

    Thanks :)

  2. Hi Jeremy - I just dropped an email to my editor with a link to your Informit bio page to see who the best contact to provide you with would be.

  3. Hey, Jeremy. That one wasn’t mine, but I’ll forward your note to one of the other culprits. (Unfortunately, if you don’t send your invoice when we write, “Yo! It’s time!” we probably won’t ever notice.)

  4. TDavid, Esther, thanks for the quick responses. I had actually sent in an invoice, but it’s entirely possible it got lost in transit.

    Anyways, if you could find the editor / acquirer that’d be great. We’d had some ideas for other articles that I AM now able to pursue! ;-)

  6. […] I haven’t experienced the Yahoo search API tools falling over in our own projects, but clearly something is amiss in Matt’s camp with using them. For developers wondering about how to use the Yahoo API, I wrote an article last year published by Informit that should get you up to speed fairly quickly. […]
