Hi everyone,

I am getting the 403 error when trying to access the contacts from the yahoo address book.

in our app, we are also getting intermittent 403 errors, but if we refresh the page that imports the contacts it usually is able to load up the contacts....if you keep refresh multiple times, most likely there is at least one 403 error...how can this be resolved?

I've done some digging and 403 is an auth error which typically means invalid credentials – wrong appid, wrong cookie, wrong token, etc. Is that a possibility? Can you go back and check to make sure these are correct and let me know?

Hi Everyone,

My issue got resolved after I went to this link . Actually I found this long back but didn't reply here on the developer network so really feel sorry for that.

I would like to thank everyone for their support.

Thanks
Sumit

Can you help to figure out the problem?


Yes, I got the token also after authentication. So, I'm assuming that all my credentials are right.
I got the cookie also like Y=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


Raj,

Have you double-checked your credentials? That error means the system thinks your creds are bad. If they aren't, I need to go back and do more digging, but I need confirmation from you first that they are correct.

Thank you,

Sumit,

That API has been deprecated. It's still up and running, but we are not actively supporting it. You should look at the <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/social/rest_api_guide/contact_api.html"Contacts API</a>. Thanks,

Cheers!

How do I implement an asp.net web service to find a particular email in the Yahoo! Mail Web Service and get the content of the mail I found?

Vincent, a good place to start is here: http://developer.yahoo.com/mail/code/. There's a C# code sample there, which includes examples of calling SearchMessages and GetMessage. That should get you pointed in the right direction.

Never mind, i figured it out is used the following code:

foreach (YahooImage image in response.Images)
{
System.Windows.Controls.Image image1 = new System.Windows.Controls.Image();
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(image.GetThumbnailImage());
image1.Source = System.Windows.Interop.Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(bmp.GetHbitmap(), IntPtr.Zero, Int32Rect.Empty,
System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions());
}

where response is a YahooImageResponse. Is this the best way to do it?
