Yahoo Meme was shutdown on March 25th 2012.

I would like to have a small survey under the Yahoo developers. The test is for a thesis where I study how a web service can be more accessible for developers. Give me 4 minutes of your precious time and join the survey here:  https://docs.google.com/a/sense-os.nl/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFlHYmFpUVVCVXUxTHU5WlR2dTlGTnc6MQ 

It would be nice if a meme developer or some senior developer at yahoo posted an example of a gadget file in YAP which uses in a cdata section in the gadget file, the meme yql tables to add a blog or view comments?

I'd like to associate my meme account with a different Yahoo ID. I was logged in to an old account that I don't intend to keep when I registered my meme account, and now I can't figure out how to change it. Is it possible to do this? I've been asking everywhere and I can't seem to get a response, including internally (I'm a Yahoo Employee).

Thanks in advance,
Klaus

Hello,

To post on meme throught the YQL console your Yahoo! credentials should be enough, since the site will handle tokens and everything.

If you want to insert/retrieve content outside YQL console, you must authenticate our user using oAuth and sign every request with the access token.

Please note that to INSERT content into non-public tables, you cannot uset GET method. You should use either JSONP, PUT or POST.

It is also important to refresh your token from time to time, as it will expires in 1 hour. So, to avoid re-signing, tokens must be refreshed by the app.

There are several libraries that help you dealing with authentication and oauth. Which language are you using in your app??

After using the auth.oauth.access_token table to acquire oauth access token, oauth access token secret, oauth expiration, oauth session handle, oauth access expiration, and oauth guid. I assumed with my yahoo app, key and secret I could use the auth.outh, request token and access token tables, through the oauth process to get the aforementioned values.

how do I use these values in yql to insert to my meme in the yql console and outside of the yql console, or can I only use rest request, since you don't need oauth to post to a meme in the yql console

could you show us the YQL you're trying to execute?

I am getting the following error while trying to Post to Yahoo Meme via YQL

*****************************
Syntax error(s) [line 1:174 mismatched input 'feel' expecting RPAREN]
*****************************

Any idea what this error means.

Just to add, most of the Posts are successful. This issue is occurring for only 1 post as of now.

Hi Thanks for your reply, but I want to use script on my site to get geocode of user by entering the UK POST code.

Hi Asif,

You can make a call to "navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition" passing your callback to use GEO data:

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position){
  console.log(position.coords.latitude);
  console.log(position.coords.longitude);
});

Hi,

I want to get geocoding coordinates using javascript would any one like to help me

Thanks

The meme.user.posts table is a "protected" table, which means that you can only access it after authenticating with user credentials using oAuth 3-legged (http://developer.yahoo.com/oauth/guide/oauth-userauth.html).

Cheers,
gc

Hi,

This post helps me to figure out the problem. I was trying to use the public URL (http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql) when I need to use the OAuth URL (http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/yql).

Sorry!

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to post a photo to Meme but I'm facing some problems.

My request is:

http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?
q=INSERT%20INTO meme.user.posts (type%2C content%2C caption) VALUES (%22photo%22%2C %22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trendsspotting.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2008%2F01%2Fdilbert.jpg%22%2C %22- This is an initial test. Drop it!%22)

&oauth_token=[MyUserToken]
&oauth_version=1.0
&oauth_signature=jjQCIw6q5yhiOWyJI4pz9DpzFNg%3D

I'm getting the following results:
cbfunc({"error":{"lang":"en-US","diagnostics":{"publiclyCallable":"true"},"description":"Request security ANY not accessible for YQL Table meme.user.posts"}});

Response Headers are:

I'm using .NET 3.5 (C#) without any 3rd party library.

I've already tried to send the oauth data via Authentication Header but I get the same error.
Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks for help!

Can you access Url to check: from your browser?

Thx

Hi Diogo

You need OAuth token for accessing MEME API. Don't use browser based authentication (BBAuth).

Follow these steps to create your application:
- Create your project from here https://developer.apps.yahoo.com/projects
- Choose "Create desktop and Web apps that use Yahoo! open authentication (OAuth) APIs."
- Set Kind of Application: to Client/Desktop
- Set Access Scopes: change Meme to Read/Write

Thx
~jimmi

My projects verify 'hite.me' invalid.

and my former domain 'the631.com' is good..

so .me Tld domains can't use API ??

Hi there,

I'm developing a Meme API abstraction in Python, but I'm having troubles trying to register to an application ID. Which authentication method should I choose, since it's a non-browser application, but still requires authentication to deal with user dashboard, for example? I mean, selecting between "Generic, No user authentication required" and "Browser Based Authentication" is a bit confusing, in my opinion, and the options are too narrow...

Thanks!

Here's a workaround to get insert capabilities working via the PHP SDK provided for YAP. As mentioned above a GET request with JSON-P (JSON with callback) will work on the system. To modify the SDK to allow this functionality, you can do the following:

In the Yahoo.inc file on like 789 is the following line:
$params = array('q' => $yql, 'format' => 'json', 'env' => 'http://datatables.org/alltables.env');

Switch this to JSON-P functionality by adding a callback like so:
$params = array('q' => $yql, 'format' => 'json', 'callback' => 'runCallback', 'env' => 'http://datatables.org/alltables.env');

Then define in JavaScript the following function (should be in the same file that you're calling the query method):

Hi dsouza,

Any work around for this?

Hi,

the current SDK available for yql does not support INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE commands. The support for this is already being implemented and should be released soon. The problem is that the current SDK uses HTTP GET method for all statements and yql demands either POST,PUT,DELETE (you may actually use GET if you perform JSON-P request, which is really appending a `callback' parameter to the request.).

In the meantime, while the API is not available, the only solution is to implement this by yourself, which is a bit trick as you would need to compute oauth signature correctly. Other than that it should be relatively simple to get this working.

Let me know your findings about this.

Regards,
~dsouza

is yql dont support insert command? if not then what is correct solution..

still same problem even after 2 months
