The only api I know of is to check the image status indicator: http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=yourscreename&m=g&t=1

There's also a wrapping table in YQL that you can get the data from. Here's the link: http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?q=...ltableswithkeys

Most likely they are using libpurple or something around those lines to access messenger information: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/WhatIsLibpurple

When online networks can offer services where you can get "invisible" status, they are getting
the information somehow, programatically.

Why then Yahoo do not offer this status to us, developers and let us build what already others
are using ?

I was create some service using YQL, you can check my work on http://setiaji.megabyet.net

But, I have some problem with yahoo messenger status, I can't detect yahoo_id when the yahoo_id is invisible..

I using statement : yahoo.messenger.status (but this query can't detect invisible user)

Maybe someone can help me to solve this problem, thankyou very much.. :)Best Regards
