Hi -- we're having the exact same problem.
This works just fine in the browser:
http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerSe...linkData?appid=[1234]-&query=http://www.briansolis.com&results=1&omit_links=domain
However, the exact same URI returns an error 999 when hit via script. (I have a screenshot, but not sure how to post.)
Hi,
as was noted earlier I haven't been able to find a specific problem with this API. I'm going to be investigating further.
You can contact us via the boards here, or via our contact form on the main Yahoo developer network web site.
