  • I'm experiencing the same issue. Any word on when you expect this issue to be resolved?

    @Girish I'm working with the contacts API too. Have you figured out the most efficient way to pull the contacts yet? The Yahoo contacts data structure is pretty funky. I'm trying to figure out the best way to only return a name and email address for each contact to speed things up.

  • Hi Josh, just to touch on your point about about pulling in contacts, have you considered using YQL to pull in contact data? I usually find that if I need to capture specific data from one of the social APIs YQL usually gives me that fine grain control. Here's the basic query that you can run (with REST request you would call): http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?q=...ere%20guid%3Dme

    Also to show you a way of capturing specific data, here's that same query when only capturing the contact given & family name:
    http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?q=...ere%20guid%3Dme

  • Thanks Jon,

    I've been planning on using YQL. Like your example showed, getting first and last names is easy & so is getting just email addresses. What is hard to getting first, last and email (and nothing else) all in one query.

  • Hello everyone. I would just like to ask if there's anything new about this "experiencing some difficulties in processing your request" problem. I'm currently also trying to access the Yahoo! contacts API, but I get that same error message.

    Thanks for your time and help!

    Is OAuth temporarily disabled and is this because of the security issue reported with OAuth?

  • How long do you guys think it might take for OAuth to come back up?

    1 week, 2 weeks?

    Thanks!

  • Hello again. Just diggin out more information. Am I correct in assuming that, since YQL also depends on OAuth for accessing private data, private data queries will also fail?

    Thanks!

  • From what I know, public YQL tables will still function perfectly well, but private data tables (such as social) will have the same issue.

  • The same error is happening with Twitter too. Read that news http://news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-10225103-36.html

    The questions is:

    Does Yahoo services that uses OAuth able to use BBAuth or another kind of authentication?

  • If I understand the question correctly, you want to know if you can use BBAuth to authenticate with a service the uses OAuth. The answer to that is no, unfortunately.
