Yahoo! Local Web Services

Yahoo! offers several APIs that let you easily integrate data from Yahoo!'s comprehensive database of location-based information and user-contributed content.

• collectionSearch finds public collections created with Yahoo! Local Collections.
• getCollection returns public collections created with Yahoo! Local Collections.
• Local Search V3: Version 3 of Yahoo! Local Search adds even more features! You can now request individual business records by using the Yahoo! Local listing id. We also support search categories to help you narrow your queries. Finally, results now return the first few lines of the last user review for each listing.
• Traffic Web Services Access real-time traffic information with custom data from Yahoo! Local. Build dynamic, location-based queries with the Traffic REST API or with the Traffic RSS feed.

Note: Previous versions of Local Search have been deprecated, but their documentation is still online: Local Search V1, Local Search V2.

Rate Limit

Yahoo! Local Web Services typically have rate limits. See the terms of service attached to each API for the specific rate limit that applies. See information on rate limiting.
