The Yahoo! HotJobs Web Services for Shared Apply can be used to retrieve information about candidates who applied to your jobs via the HotJobs Apply Flow.

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.
