YQL access

Depending on a yql table, the auth file doesnt need to have an application tag?
OR is it wise to set it regardless?

  • Whether or not you put anything in your auth.xml is unrelated to the particular YQL table.

    You need an auth.xml oauth profile (aka service) if we haven't enabled OAuth refinements for Oauth endpoints for your app:

    in which case you need a regular oauth consumer key/secret/etc:

  • I want to use some yql tables, and I assumed I would need the auth set up. So, I got a key and secret and set up the file.
    But, are you saying that the auth file is not necessary for yql?
