Yahoo! Shopping API Launched

We're overjoyed to announce the newest member of our family of API products for developers: the Yahoo! Shopping API. Using this API, developers can create applications and Web sites that search Yahoo's comparison shopping database, which contains millions of offers from thousands of merchants.

With the Product Search API, you can search by keyword; limit your search to a specific merchant, price range or product category, and filter merchants according to their Yahoo! User ratings.

The Price Comparison Grid API gives developers access to millions of products offered by multiple merchants, returning base price, tax and shipping info and total price (based on zip code).

You can find support resources for this new API in the Yahoo! Shopping API Group.

Director, Yahoo! Developer Network

Cool, but 2 questions: 1) I'd like to earn some affiliate dollars from these APIs. Do you have an affiliate program similar to eBay? 2) Your license says I can't commercialize my application. What gives?
