both contacts api & yql - social.contacts block access for new user

I wrote a class for OAuth which let people get their contacts' list in third party site.
However I found that both contacts api (http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/user/' . $guid . '/contacts) and yql social.contacts table will return null to the new yahoo users

The contacts api showed an error message to all new yahoo users ( description : "new user" )
The yql will return null, even the user have someone in their contacts list

Could anyone have any ideas for solving it? or will yahoo update the restriction?
