Hi,

I'd like some new APIs to access media properties (Y! Movies, Y! Music...). Also, it would be very nice if you could bring more consistancy in your various APIs (for instance, you could implement the parameter "output" - to specify JSON, serialized PHP... - in all services).

Cherry on the cake for PHP writers that are very very lazy: provides some PHP classes to call and *deserialize* response of services (yes I know, but I always want more ;) ).

A Yahoo T-Shirt .... ne time :-)

I'd like to see the same attention to syntax in the YUI animation library as in the others... missing semicolons and curly braces wreak havoc on certain compression algorithms, such as Dean Edwards' "Packer". Most of the YUI is fairly clean now, but animation.js is still chock full of one line if's.

How about enabling developers to develop *on* Yahoo, apart from developing *using* Yahoo!? Is there a GData analogue planned? Can all yahoo internal data be represented in a common format? Will it be made accessable via a secure authentication api? The question is will be talk about the "Yahoo! operating system" in the future.

end of rant! :-)

I agree with Sumit. The ability to interact with Y! services would be ideal to me. An API to send and receive Y!Messenger messages. An API to interact with Y!Calendar. Etcetera.

I'm a bit pessimistic about this though, as a former Yahoo! I watched the Y! culture (which would have energetically supported ideas like this) vaporize when marketing got involved in decision making. Its worth mentioning though. The direct interaction with Y! products and services is what I'd like to see.

I would love a Yahoo! shirt ;-) A tie would be nice too. A fantasy football API would be better than any of those though, pleeeeeease!

I'd like a pony in a t-shirt. But seriously I think it is time to get a bit of a conformity into the different APIs or a tool that collates the output of each and brings out a format that includes most data. Right now it can be rather tiring to have amazingly easy APIs like the Answers one and others that require PHP and cURL to work properly (like flickr if you want to do more than just display the latest 20 pics by user or tag).

Seeing as you've asked, how about SPARQL endpoints on all datasets - general search, movies, music... Shouldn't be too difficult, given tools like D2RQ, and would through the mashup potential wide open.

i wud like to hav a t-shirt as well as a pony.. it wud b kul.. n ya 1 more thing " reduced rates to call to othe countries" bcoz ther r services givin low rates .. so y wud ny1 use yahoo to call??

For the Image Search API, is there a way to specify search by image size (e.g. wallpaper, large, medium, small as on the image search website itself)?

Thanks for the feedback venue!

I would like a custom search API for building custom search engines like google's. I would like it to be accessible via REST or other webservices API. I also agree about being able to tie into other Yahoo services.

I'd still like to see a ColdFusion developer center. (And I'd be more than willing to help out with it.)

I'd also like to see more feedback from the team members on the forums. For example - myself - and others - have found issues with the Song Search, and have posted questions, but haven't gotten any responses yet.

Hi!

Please release FLEX 2 API for Yahoo! Map :D

A Yahoo! Music Web Service API.
The YUI cleaned up so it's as easy to work Script.aculo.us.
Better "Related Search" results.
A few more howto's for the Yahoo Authorization API.
And a T-Shirt.

a) You release a PAID API.
With your free 5,000 queries/day usage limit, except mockups I do not know what can be do of serious. We do not only work to show our projects to family and friends.

b) You release an Overture keyword suggestion tool PAID API.

Hi There,

It would be nice if you can give the API features like,

1. Being able to set AudioIn, AudioOut Devices as needed
2. Voice Call Events (RINGING, CONNECTED, BUSY, etc...)

Thanks,
VoiceChum

Hey, we've just opened The Suggestion Box and cross-posted a bunch of these wish-list items over there. Please head on over, offer feedback, and post more bright ideas!

I would love a t-shirt.

i'd like to see a java developer center.

I would like to see the implementation of the new versions for the API for web search such as inlink, update notifications etc. For example, inlink can return the anchor text that was linked to the specific page.

I would also like to have a Yahoo Developer Network T-shirt :)

I'd love a YDN T-shirt :-)

When will the Map API for Flex 2 be released - I really hope sooner and not later.

How about getting my dormant email account working again, minus the 90% spam that comes in? Is that worth a T-shirt?

Would it be possible to get some true-REST APIs? Yahoo has the power to influence the industry in this regard.

You could do a T-shirt saying "REST with Yahoo!" or something. With a picture of a pony wearing sunglasses drinking KoolAid on the beach.

See my article about STREST: http://duncan-cragg.org/blog/post/strest-service-trampled-rest-will-break-web-20/

You can contact me or the 'rest-discuss' list (on Yahoo groups!) for further information... =0)

Cheers!

More APIs please - Calendar would be my top priority, with Addresses a close second.

Like a lot of people I would really really like to have access to Yahoo's calendar and Yahoo Messenger.

Adding more Ruby support doesn't hurt either...

More support on ydn-auth and more development on the web service itself. Other than that the developer network has been awesome in 2006, really good work guys.

More Ruby support? Can you give examples of what else you'd like to see?

Please! Flex 2/A3 version of the Yahoo maps API! Its THE only mapping component that Flex 2 people can really use. To accelerate RIA we NEED these maps! (I am aware of the Flash localConnection work-around...it works most of the time, but not all the time....I'll send you a Starbucks Card with a year's worth of coffee on it if this can get done in the next two weeks! (not kidding...)

I would love to have an API for Y!Calendar and Y!AddressBook. And I would love a rich text editor as part of the Yahoo Control Library.

A Calendar API, a Calendar API and a Calendar API. Please!

Flex 2 api for yahoo maps please

Flex 2 API for Yahoo! Maps.
Much needed.

API for address book and calander! Or just syncml in general.

A Flex 2 API for Yahoo! Maps is really needed...

I also think that it's very necessary...

Add my vote for Flex2/AS3 Y!Map... free us from the flash8 "IDE" please!

Please, I need the yahoo's map Flex 2 API... PLEASE!!!!!!!! :-)

Thank you.

A fantasy football API, especially with the ability to view the past year's draft results.

fantasy football api!
