Hi, I'm not getting any result in Australia for any businesses. Do these searches work in Australia at all? If not, when will Australia be included?

Hi, I'm not getting any result in Australia for any businesses.

http://local.yahooapis.com/LocalSearchService/V3/localSearch?appid=YahooDemo&query=mcdonalds&latitude=-35&longitude=149&results=20&output=json

(I have changed the coordinates for security purposes, but am still not getting results).

Do these searches work in Australia at all?

Which service are you trying to use?

Hi Deeps

i am also getting same error , if you solved the above please update me. What i have to change.

This should be fixed now. So sorry for the inconvenience.

It's probably the issue with domain name.
Also, it could be that htaccess is preventing file from reading.

I am having the same issue. I am over 18 in my profile and I am not including any prohibited strings (Yahoo, etc.) in the title or description. Judging by the volume of people with this problem on the forums here, this has been an issue for some time.

I'm having the same issue. Can't generate an API Key when I try to do a new project. I am over 18 in my profile.

hi Paul,

Can you please quickly check your server time and see that it is in sync with some NTP. Oauth 401 errors sometimes happen due to mismatch in server and client time resulting in signature failure.

Hi,Is your age specified as less than 18 years in your profile?

Thanks

Hi,

It's impossible for me to generate an API key. I have the error :
API Key Creation Failed.

I tried with multiple informations in the keygeneratorform, and I have always the same issue ...

Additionnaly, I cannot verify my websites with : http://domain.fr, the key file is present, but the tool apparently cannot find it ...

So I'm affraid that Yahoo reject me ^^

Do you have any ideas to solve that ?

Regards ;)

I can't see what I'm doing wrong, but that's probably because it's my first tango with oauth and I'm sure I'm newb-ing it up somewhere. I'm currently using the oauth library hosted by google code and linked on oauth's website (http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/csharp/)

For the following code, the variable "YQL" is an "OAuthBase" object that's declared within the scope of my class as protected like this:

private OAuthBase YQL;

and initialized like this:

public AverageEverydayConstructor()
{
...
  YQL = new OAuthBase();
...
}

And here is where all the actual non-functionality occurs (the string "key" is my Consumer Key and "secret" is my Consumer Secret)

private string yahooRetrieveToken(string key, string secret)
{
string tokenRequestUrl = @"https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth/v2/get_request_token";
string parameters = "";

string timestamp = YQL.GenerateTimeStamp();
string nonce = YQL.GenerateNonce();

    parameters += "?oauth_nonce=" + nonce;
    parameters += "&oauth_timestamp=" + timestamp;
    parameters += "&oauth_consumer_key=" + key;
    parameters += "&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1";
    parameters += "&oauth_signature=" + secret;
    parameters += "&oauth_version=1.0";
    parameters += "&xoauth_lang_pref=en-us";
    parameters += "&oauth_callback=\"oob\"";


string fullUrl = tokenRequestUrl + parameters;
Clipboard.SetText(fullUrl);
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(fullUrl);
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); //this is the line that actually err's with 401.
Stream result = response.GetResponseStream();

//And yes, I'm aware I'm not using very good practice and haven't properly closed the stream. I'm just trying to get it to work first, but don't worry I haven't forgotten.


string unparsedResult = result.ToString();
return unparsedResult;
}

I've tried everything I can think of and gone over this page (http://developer.yahoo.com/oauth/guide/oauth-requesttoken.html) dozens of times. To make sure I covered all my bases I've also tried changing the two lines below back and forth just so see if there was any change.

    parameters += "&oauth_signature_method=PLAINTEXT";
    parameters += "&oauth_signature=" + secret + "%26";

Thanks anyone!

I want to search all pizza in the region(zipcod=89030), then I construct a query in yahoo local search as:http://local.yahooapis.com/LocalSearchService/V3/localSearch?appid=appid&query=pizza&zip=89030&results=20&start=250

The results xml file shows that there are totalResultsAvailable="1714" totalResultsReturned="20" firstResultPosition="250"

The maximum number can be used in a url is 'results=20', 'start=250'. So I can only get maximum 250+20=270 results. But there are 1714 available results.

How can I get the remaining result tuples?

Did you solved this problem?

What steps will reproduce the problem?1. register application with yahoo 2. take authentication information (key/secret) and place in properties file3. verify the application URL is the same as the URL the application will run (http://abc.com:8080/SocialAuthDemo/socialAuthSuccessAction.do4. Using the demo, click on the yahoo icon to launch the authentication screen

I am getting 
org.brickred.socialauth.exception.SocialAuthConfigurationException: Application keys are not correct. The server running the application should be same that was registered to get the keys.

Environment
Windows, also please note that I am running this on my local. I have made the necessary changes to my hosts file to update the localhost with some logical domain "abc.com"
Also I am working in India, so do you think server time could be an issue?

I am looking for something similar. Did you ever receive a response?

I have same issue. If you got any solution,please let me know also.

Thanks in advance.

Your local news sections really bites. When someone chooses a local news area and is logged in... it should just change the location whenever it wants to... You ask us to save it and we do and then next time we log in it goes back to the news you think we should want to read. Please fix it as it is very veryirritating especially when you type in the zip code or the city news you want to read and it says " can't be found at this time"

Hello,

I'm developing a PHP application that counts the number of reviews on Yahoo Local. However, thus far i'm limited to seeing only 3 reviews without clicking the "load more" button. Is there a way to retrieve/show all reviews at once without using that button?

Thanks

Thanks

It seems Yahoo local search API does not work outside USA.

Hey All -

I'm stuck on an issue and hoping you all might be able to help me out or give me some ideas. The basic idea behind my code is to have a form that collects some info from the user, on submit pass that info on to the yahoo local search api, and then parse and display the results on the page. Shouldn't be difficult and I have it almost working...

Here is the workflow:

1. User enters info in the web page form
2. User selects Submit button and onsubmit a callApi() function is called.
3. The callApi() function uses the form data to create and then send an xmlhttprequest object to the yahoo api
4. When the xmlhttprequest object readyState == 4 && status == 200 then call the handlerequest function.
5. The handlerequest function would parse the results, create and populate a Div element in the page body.

All of the above steps work when I step through the code using firebug, the page even populates on step 5 but when after step five when the focus returns to the onsubmit function call the page clears!?!? I don't know if its something when how the page is being loaded or what.

If I change the original call to an onclick button so that if a user selects the onclick button the callApi() function is called, everything works great and the results are displayed and only clear when the button is selected again.

Has anyone encountered this issue?? I didn't post the code but I can if need be....

Thanks in advance,

fp
