I want to build an app that just gathers the information from my own league.  I don't need other users to login into their Yahoo accounts and leagues.  In order to do this do I still need to prompt every time for the OAuth authentication.  I know the Twitter version has a static authentication id that can be used in this type of case so that the Login prompt can be bypassed.  Does Yahoo have something similar?

Thanks-

You don't need to be prompted if you're storing the token and reusing it.

If you use the example code from here:

You can run the code from the command prompt several times and only have to get the prompt for authorization once. In a web-server setting I only had to do it once...Probably will have to do it again once the web-server restarts though.

Thanks for the response.  But I am hoping of finding a way to do it without being prompted once.  I just want to login through the code and access the information for my own account without ever having to see the Yahoo login dialog.

Did you ever find a solution for this?  I am also interested in automating the login portion to get details for my team.
