Hello,

I want to add a buddy to my messenger contact list.For this I am using following call:

<server>/v1/buddyrequest/yahoo/<ymsgr id>?sid=

But after using this I am getting the error:

Error :-The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error

even though all the credentials are correct.

Kindly help me

Refer this thread http://developer.yahoo.net/forum/?showtopi...mp;endsession=1

Thanks,

Hi Priya,

This is very tricky. Y! Messenger buddy authorization is bi-directional.

When you want to add a buddy you should use this api call:
PUT <server>/v1/group/{groupname}/contact/{network}/{addeeId}

The below is my code in PHP:

public function buddy_add($budd)
{
$resu = $this->dbh->query("SELECT sess FROM login WHERE status=0");
$resu->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_NUM);
$toks = $resu->fetch();
$this->_sessid = $toks[0];
unset($toks);

$resu = $this->dbh->query("SELECT atk, atks FROM yimkeys WHERE status=0");
$resu->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_NUM);
$toks = $resu->fetch();

$params['oauth_version'] = '1.0';
$params['oauth_consumer_key'] = $this->_consumerkey;
$params['oauth_nonce'] = mt_rand();
$params['oauth_timestamp'] = time();
$params['oauth_token'] = $toks[0];
$params['oauth_signature_method'] = 'PLAINTEXT';
$params['oauth_signature'] = $this->plaintext_sig($this->_consumersecret, $toks[1]);

$header = $this->build_oauth_header($params, "yahooapis.com");
$headers[] = $header;
$req_url = $this->_rurl . '/v1/group/Buddies/contact/yahoo/'. $budd . '?_method=put&sid=' . $this->_sessid;
$headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8';
$pbody = '{"authReason":"Hi' . $budd . ', Thanks for adding me"}';
$response = $this->do_post($req_url, $pbody, $headers);
return $response;
}

After your buddy accepts your request, you'll receive a notification, then you should this api call:
POST <server>/v1/buddyrequest/{network}/{adderId}

The below is my code in PHP:

public function buddy_auth($budd)
{
$resu = $this->dbh->query("SELECT sess FROM login WHERE status=0");
$resu->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_NUM);
$toks = $resu->fetch();
$this->_sessid = $toks[0];
unset($toks);

$resu = $this->dbh->query("SELECT atk, atks FROM yimkeys WHERE status=0");
$resu->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_NUM);
$toks = $resu->fetch();

$params['oauth_version'] = '1.0';
$params['oauth_consumer_key'] = $this->_consumerkey;
$params['oauth_nonce'] = mt_rand();
$params['oauth_timestamp'] = time();
$params['oauth_token'] = $toks[0];
$params['oauth_signature_method'] = 'PLAINTEXT';
$params['oauth_signature'] = $this->plaintext_sig($this->_consumersecret, $toks[1]);

$header = $this->build_oauth_header($params, "yahooapis.com");
$headers[] = $header;
$req_url = $this->_rurl . '/v1/buddyrequest/yahoo/' . $budd . '?sid=' . $this->_sessid;
$headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8';
$pbody = '{"authReason":"Hi' . $budd . ', welcome to ESP, Bangalore"}';
$response = $this->do_post($req_url, $pbody, $headers);
return $response;
}

These are two methods in my class, if you want I can share my class.

And also I think you are passing the oauth authorization in the request url, it would be better if you pass it in the request header.

Thanks,
Karthik
