Yahoo::BBAuth is a Perl interface to the Yahoo! Browser-Based Authentication.

SYNOPSIS

my $bbauth = Yahoo::BBAuth->new(
appid => $appid,
secret => $secret,
);
# Create an authentication link
printf, $bbauth->auth_url;
# After the user authenticates successfully, Yahoo returns the user to the page you
# dictated when you signed up. To verify whether authentication succeeded, you need to
# validate the signature:
if ($bbauth->validate_sig()) {
print Authentication Successful;
} else {
print Authentication Failed. Error is: .$bbauth->sig_validation_error;
}
my $url = http://photos.yahooapis.com/V1.0/listAlbums;
my $xml = $bbauth->auth_ws_get_call($url);
unless ($xml) {
print WS call setup Failed. Error is: . $bbauth->access_credentials_error;
} else {
print Look at response for other errors or success: .$xml;
}

This module priovides you an Object Oriented interface for Yahoo! Browser-Based Authentication.

This module is ported from official PHP class library(http://developer.yahoo.com/auth/quickstart/bbauth_quickstart.zip).

Yahoo::Search is a Perl interface to the Yahoo! Search public API.

The following search spaces are supported:

Doc
Common web search for documents (html, pdf, doc, ...), including Y!Q contextual search.

Image
Image search (jpeg, png, gif, ...)

Video
Video file search (avi, mpeg, realmedia, ...)

News
News article search

Local
Yahoo! Local area (ZIP-code-based Yellow-Page like search)

Terms
A pseudo-search to report the important search terms from the provided content or content+query.

Spell
A pseudo-search to fetch a "did you mean?" spelling suggestion for a search term.

Related
A pseudo-search to fetch "also try" related-searches for a search term.

(Note: what this Perl API calls "Doc" Search is what Yahoo! calls "Web" Search. But gee, arent all web searches "Web" search, including Image/News/Video/etc?)

Yahoo!s raw API, which this package uses, is described at:

As you probably know, Yahoo Mail does not provide free POP access to its users any more. You can still use your YM account for free, but you have to use a Yahoo Mail web site to access your account.
This is not very convenient as you always have to be online, you cannot use your favourite e-mail client to read your messages, and so on. You can easily immagine the disadvantages of having to manage all your corespondence via web.
When Yahoo disabled its free POP access, the first thing that came to my mind was to change my e-mail account. But then I realized, there are far too many people used to my current Yahoo Mail address, that I am used to my YM address very much too and I thought - if Yahoo closes a free service, the other services will follow sooner or later. So changing an e-mail service/account wasnt really solution.
That is when I have decided to write YoSucker as a simple portable perl application, that would simulate a user actions to retrieve my mail to my local inbox. Yahoo Mail Sucker simply connects to the Yahoo Mail web site, parses the HTML code and fetches new messages.
With time I have added lots of other features and functionality (like support for multiple accounts, support for procmail, support for local Yahoo Mail sites, for proxy connection and much more) but the basic idea still stay the same...
Main features:
- secure SSL login
- support for multiple accounts
- encrypted passwords for enhanced security
- transaction safe writes
- support for various folders (including BULK mail)
- support for multiuser environment
- support for multiple mailboxes in one config file
- support for procmail (output to a pipe)
- support for localized Yahoo Mail sites
- support for proxy
- support for basic proxy authorization
- support of command line parameters
- powerful digest feature for listing mailbox content
- handles virtually unlimited number of messages
- LeaveOnServer, EmptyTrash and OnlyNew features
- restore message unread flag feature
- powerful CLEAN option
- quota storage warning system
- session Respawn feature
Enhancements:
- This things been around too long be be a prototype any longer.
- Filtered the annoying "Yahoo! Domain Keys" message in From header

WWW::Yahoo::Groups is an automated access to Yahoo! Groups archives.

SYNOPSIS

my $y = WWW::Yahoo::Groups->new();
$y->login( $user => $pass );
$y->list( Jade_Pagoda );
my $email = $y->fetch_message( 2345 );

# Error catching
my $email = eval { $y->fetch_message( 93848 ) };
if ( $@ and ref $@ and $@->isa(X::WWW::Yahoo::Groups) )
{
warn "Problem: ".$@->error;
}

WWW::Yahoo::Groups retrieves messages from the archive of Yahoo Groups. It provides a simple OO interface to logging in and retrieving said messages which you may then do with as you will.

Things it does

Handles access to restricted archives. It lets you login.
Handles the intermittent advertisements. It notes that it got one and progresses straight to the message.
Handle adult confirmation requests. It just goes straight on.
Handles attachments. We get the source which happens to be the raw stuff.
Sanity checking. Could be improved, but it will generally barf if it doesnt understand something.
Header restoration. Ive found that some groups archives have unusually corrupted headers. Evidently it would be beneficial to restore these headers. As far as I can tell, it comes from not being a moderator on the lists in question.

USAGE

Try to be a well behaved bot and sleep() for a few seconds (at least) after doing things. Its considered polite. Theres an autosleep method that should be useful for this. Recently, this has been set to a default of 1 second. Feel free to tweak if necessary.

If youre used to seeing munged email addresses when you view the message archive (i.e. youre not a moderator or owner of the group) then youll be pleased to know that WWW::Yahoo::Groups can demunge those email addresses.

All exceptions are subclasses of X::WWW::Yahoo::Groups, itself a subclass of Exception::Class. See WWW::Yahoo::Groups::Errors for details.

WWW::Search::Yahoo is a Perl backend for searching www.yahoo.com

SYNOPSIS

use WWW::Search;
my $oSearch = new WWW::Search(Yahoo);
my $sQuery = WWW::Search::escape_query("sushi restaurant Columbus Ohio");
$oSearch->native_query($sQuery);
while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result())
print $oResult->url, "n";

This class is a Yahoo specialization of WWW::Search. It handles making and interpreting Yahoo searches http://www.yahoo.com.

This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through WWW::Search objects.
