Yahoo! Social SDKs
As part of the Yahoo! Social Platform, we are offering a set of SDKs that provide easy access to the Yahoo! Social and Data APIs. All of the Yahoo! Social SDks come with functional examples and documentation. The SDK makes it easy for developers to: authenticate with OAuth, fetch user profiles and connections, fetch and insert updates, and execute YQL queries.
