So I'm looking to write a YQL script that combs the stats of MLB players, and keeps them in a table that I can access. I have some coding background, and the YQL documentation is great so I think I'll be able to handle the coding portion. However what I'm wondering about is how I'd even just... run it. I've played around with the console a little bit, but what I basically want is a sortable spreadsheet that updates once a day. Do I need to download software? Set up a server? I'm kind of lost here...

hi sir

as we all know that we can use js and css files from local folders like this :

and from internet (external URL) like this :

could we use this (external) function as alocal ?

/query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?callback=?

i want this function file , how to get it plz ?

Hello,I am implementing web scrapper by using YQL. I use simple query "select from html where url='xxxx' " in order to retrieve page content with xml format. This works for many sites but some sites does not give me any contents back and I am not sure how I can debug the problem.

One of the examples is an article from New York Times, "http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/20/movies/coen-brothers-inside-llewyn-davis-is-popular-at-cannes.html" when I used this YQL query and get empty result.

I enabled diagnostic and get the following result seeing lots of redirect and cache tags. Could anyone help to point out what is wrong with my query?

Thanks!

GOOG for today is showing a 52w high of 844. It should be 919.98, same as shown on the webpage: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GOOG&ql=1

This has been going on for the past several weeks.

I have this same issue. Requests on port 80 work, but not 8000. it seems Yahoo broke something here.

I was trying to access data from a SHOUTCast stream. They have a public stats URL that returns XML. I figured I could use YQL to get the data from that page.

I tried this query:

SELECT * FROM xml WHERE url=":8000/stats?sid=2"

This gave me an error in the YQL console, however:

Invalid URL :8000/stats?sid=2: Invalid HTTP destination port

I tested it with a server running on port 80, and it worked. Why won't YQL load data from port 8000?

any solution?

I think that recently there were some updates to the YQL console, maybe it is a new security measure? I hope that someone knowledgeable replies with an answer to why this is happening now.

I have the same problem. Do you think getting help? I don't. My projekt was running the last 12 month and I was requesting dat from different URL's with different ports like 8081, 8082, 8080 with a charme. Now it doesn't. What can we do? I don't know.

Please answer. Everything was working with port 8081 and also 8082 for nearly two years. Now it doesn't anymore. Why?

Pls help

I'm using YQL with this select statement:select content from html where url="http://www.domain-name.de:8081/........It worked for the last 12 month without any problem. Starting somewhere at midnight (german local time) the query stopped working and gave me the error: Invalid HTTP destination port.

I can reproduce this in YQL console. Only port 80 is working.

What has changed in YQL? How can I get it to work again?

Hi,

I a few days ago I created the following query

select * from xml where url=":81/frxmlfeed/Football_live_today.xml"

It was working fine, but when I tried to run the query today I got the following error

Invalid URL :81/frxmlfeed/Football_live_today.xml: Invalid HTTP destination port

Can anyone explain if this is a temporary issue, or if it might be something else. I don't have control on the URL in question.

Thanks!

Hi,I am looking for an API/service to interact with YMail.I know about OAUTH, but it requires the user to get a code and insert it manually every time.Is there a service/API that does not require user intervention to access his mail?

E.g. You can have full access to GMail (curse them) using api without user intervention by supplying his email / password / App. id / App. secret.

Can someone tell why elements appear in* ymail.messages *YQL responses only occasionally? The debug info should be really useful, since sometimes we suffer from internal request failures which are not propagated. This means that I cannot really determine the real reason of null being returned (no matching data found, or internal YQL error happened).

I.e., when I query YQL for parsed RSS feed, it would be awesome if YQL returned status code 304 for unchanged resource (i.e., reactin on If-None-Match and If-Modified-Since headers in the original request, passed down to the targeted server).

Is there a way how to make it work?

Hi,

When I uncomment this:

require("/root/yahoosdk/ysdk/examples/common.inc.php");

All echo's in my script do not output until the script has complete.

Any ideas? this is driving me nuts, everything is working but i guess it is buffering the output in RAM, which isnt ideal when looping through thousands of posts.

Many Thanks

Sam

I have an app which is yet to be release, however I seem to be coming across a few errors. For example just getting quotes on the Dow Jones Index seems to cause an issue.

select * from yahoo.finance.quotes where symbol = "^DJI"

Returns with the error (for both JSON and CSV):Column mismatch: [Ask, AverageDailyVolume, Bid, AskRealtime, BidRealtime..............

Here is link to the query in the console

Many thanksTom

Larry,

What tables are blocked for you?

Thanks -Paul

Hi,

Is it possible or is there any way in which we can check if the stock market is open or not using YQL?

I have already tried getting 'Open' quote value for stock symbols but its still avai;lable even after the market is closed.

Appreciate your help!

Thank you.

I have a table that is stored in yql.storage

I never had any problem with it until today, when I started receiving error messages stating : "The current table 'r' has been blocked. It exceeded the allotted quotas of either time or instructions"

I do not understand why I would receive this message since:1 - I am sure I do not call this more than 2000 times an hour (also, I use caching)2 - I never had any issue with running too many instructions with this code3 - I am the only one using this table, so it could not have been abused by someone else

I was planning on using this table on a soon to be launched site but I'm starting to wonder if YQL is reliable enough ?How can I get more clarity about what's causing this ?

For info, the execution store is at:

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks, duzins, that would be great.

Now, about the problem. Can I force an input to be a datetime?

It seems I'm having the same problem for booleans: I try "xs:Boolean", but a 0 or a 1 is coming is as a number, not as a boolean. YQL strangely doesn't understand true or false as keywords, so 1 and 0 seem most logical. But a user could input anything, and I'd like YQL to catch that as early as possible.

For example:

select * from mytable where booleanvalue=1

Now booleanvalue is coming is as the number 1, where I expect (and want) it to come in as true.A user could try and break things by doing:

select * from mytable where booleanvalue="good day sir"

Or anything else potentially malicious. Now, a string is truthy, but it's safer to only allow boolean values for boolean inputs.

Now, how is this done?And, if this is possible at all, please update the documentation, because it's not there.

Hi!

I'm getting desperate. It seems that even the simplest WHERE statements fail for me.For example :select * from ymail.messages where mid='DUMMY_ID' returns all the messages. Come on, there is surely no message with mid : DUMMY_IDselect * from ymail.messages where mid='2_0_0_1_3176_AK/tHkgAAVBPUYKC9AQw/S/dUSc' returns all messages (that id does exist).

In the end I'd like to query what messages has attachments, so I'm doing it like : select * from ymail.messages where messageInfo.flags.hasAttachment='1'

all messages returned, even those who has hasAttachment : 0

Please help, I've been trying since hours but can't get around this, this is so simple, so I might screw up some obvious thing, or there are veeery serious bugs in YQL.

Sorry about the formatting :-/ my line ends seem to have gone astray

Hi all,

I have modified the Delicious.php example to loop as follows:

while($t execute("select * from contentanalysis.analyze where text='$body'"); print_r($data); }

It works ok however the output shows the fetching and responses (all 3 of them). Then prints the output of the print_r command 5 times. This should output:

request/response outputprint_r outputrequest/response outputprint_r outputrequest/response outputprint_r output

But outputs:

request/response outputrequest/response outputrequest/response outputprint_r outputprint_r outputprint_r output

Anyone know what is causing this?

Many thanks in advance!

Sam

will I have more estability if I get that BOSS thing?? please.....someone.....it's very hard to develop when you get no data randomly.....

Hi, I'm using YQL query to pull quotes from finance.yahoo.quote and sometimes it works perfectly, but sometimes it gives me a "boolean false" result. What can I do to fix this?

I wanted to get the 5 day forecast using the Yahoo API and I found this http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss/59911_f.xml. Is it supported by Yahoo? should I use this?

I was wondering with the end of the updates api, can YAP access the social.updates table to make a social update? if so, can someone provide an example of yql table to insert, search, and delete an update from the social.updates table ofr a YAP app.

also, can someone give an example of a yql table that allows a user to access their private yql.storage.admin using username and passwords or is that impossible, using insert, delete, and search.
