Yahoo! Social API SDKs

As part of the Yahoo! Social Platform, we are offering a set of SDKs that provide a smooth pathway through our OAuth authorization system and a simple access layer to the Social APIs. Over time, we hope to expand the languages and platforms we officially support. Lastly, some SDKs are client-based, others are server-based.

SDK Listing

• PHP
• Flash
• Objective-C / Cocoa
• Community SDKs
