APIs to Manage Yahoo Groups Programmatically

Hi,

I would like to know if there is any API or WebService Support to Moderate Mailing Lists/ Posts etc., in Yahoo Groups.
I know that there is a Contacts API to fetch contacts info for a Yahoo Mail ID.

But I would like to know if there is API support to Manage Yahoo Groups.

Any help is greatly Appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
Ashok

  • Hi Ashok,

    Unfortunately at the current time we don't have a Yahoo! groups API available. That would be the method for you to access the information that you are looking for.

    Thanks Very much. Appreciate the response.
    So is there any way at all to atleast do the following programmatically:
    1) Send email to all members of a yahoo Group.
    2) Fetch the list of email IDs subscribed to a Yahoo Group

  • Those would normally be the functions allotted through a specified API I'm afraid. There isn't one officially available through YDN and I don't know if there is anything that has been reverse engineered by someone else. In searching it looks like there were some questions going around from one of our former YDN'ites about what should be included in a groups API several years ago but from what I can see that development was never made.
