« BBAuth Perl Module Available on CPAN | Main | Flash Developer Center Update: the Bad Flash Puns Edition »
October 31, 2006
When we launched our first APIs for Search, they were all located on api.search.yahoo.com. With an API offer that is growing every month, we have to separate APIs and our consumer offerings to make both easier to manage. All services that we offered on api.-property-.yahoo.com are now available at
Important for Flash developers: You need to update your applications with the new endpoints by December 11th because api.-property-.yahoo.com will no longer support Flash calls after that date.
We know that this will have a big impact for some of you and we apologize for that. Yahoo APIs infrastructure is still fairly new and we want to optimize the set-up now so that we don't have to make those changes in the future.

Hi. I am unable to get to maps API at all at http://maps.yahooapis.com/v3.04/fl/components.zip
Is there a fix for that, please?

Hi Andrey,
The link you provided works for me, can you try it again? Does anyone else has a problem with it?

Hi,
sorry not quite understanding what we need to change. The Api Key?

You'll need to change where your application is looking for the data.
Instead of search.yahoo.com, you'll be pointing your app @ search.yahooapis.com

I updated the links in my app which uses the "My Web 2.0 Web Services: URL Search". I encountered some problems.
1. I was not able to login to the new usage-data page at [http://search.yahooapis.com/webservices/usage_data]. (It asks me to verify my password repeatedly, even after entering the correct password.)
2. The bugs with the urlsearch service have persisted viz.,
i. The service returns URLs saved at an earlier date with the latest URLs, when the "sort" parameter is left at default (i.e. sort by date, latest first) and the "yahooid" parameter is left blank (i.e the Yahoo! username is unspecified).
ii. The parameters "sort" and/or "reverse_sort", when explicitly set "sort=date" and/or "reverse_sort=0", return no results.

I have been having problems accessing maps.yahooapis.com/v3.04/fl. It has been working on and off for the last week. I find it also strange that the Flash-Javascript examples don't use version 3.04, but instead use version 2 and at api.maps.yahoo.com to boot. Finally I just gave up and used /api.maps.yahoo.com/v3.0/fl/javascript/apiloader.js. No one seems to have an answer as to when these issues will be resolved.
