Using the HotJobs APIs

Overview

The Yahoo! HotJobs Web Services operate via HTTP requests. Requests are formed by starting with a service endpoint URL, and then results are returned by the service in XML format which varies per service. Applications can use these services by submitting a request, fetching the response, and parsing the returned XML and extracting the required information.
