Community Resources

Helping you be successful in using Yahoo! Web Services isn't just about code and documentation. We want to make it easy for developers to get in touch with us and others who are using our services to answer and ask questions, toss around ideas, and give your feedback on what services we could offer next.

New: The Suggestion Forum

In response to many, many requests from developers, we're opening up a dedicated Suggestions Forum. Please feel free to post questions, comments, suggestions, enhancement requests, bug reports, or any other feedback item you like, as long as it pertains to the Yahoo! Developer Network. (Off-topic entries will be removed.)

Developer Support Groups

We've created several developer support groups dedicated to discussion of our APIs, most using Yahoo! Groups. Head here for help in getting started, troubleshooting, or to show off your new application. These groups are for development related discussion; for product support help, check the Yahoo! Help pages which you can find linked on the main info page for each product.

Some of these lists can be high volume. You can find instructions for unsubscribing at the bottom of each message. If you experience a delay before your message is posted, it is likely because it is being moderated.
