The Yahoo! HotJobs Web Services for resumé search can be used to provide resumé search criteria, get search results, view resumes based on results returned and modify search criteria.

Yahoo! HotJobs Web Services operate via HTTP requests just like your web browser and are compliant with the Representational State Architecture (REST). Requests are formed by starting with a service entry point URL. The service returns the results in XML format and vary per service. Your programs can use these services by submitting a request, fetching the response, and parsing the returned XML to extract the information you need.

The purpose of this document is to show you how to gain web service access to the resumé database of Yahoo! HotJobs.
