Open Hack Day Bangalore: Hacking Yahoo! Social
2 likes4,303 views
This document summarizes how to use Yahoo's social APIs and build social applications. It discusses two ways to access social APIs - via open applications that run on Yahoo's network or standalone OAuth applications. It provides examples of using Yahoo Query Language (YQL) to fetch user profile data, contacts, updates, and execute queries. Code samples are given in PHP and Python to perform OAuth authorization and make REST calls to fetch and insert social data.
Open Hack Day Bangalore: Hacking Yahoo! Social
- 1. Hacking Yahoo! Social and Meme Saurabh Sahni Developer, Hacker, Evangelist
- 2. User Data Connec/ons Status Updates h3p://pulse.yahoo.com/sahni_saurabh
- 7. Y! Social APIs SOCIAL DIRECTORY YAHOO! CONTACTS STATUS UPDATES MEME h3p://developer.yahoo.com/social/
- 8. Leverage Yahoo!’s 600+ million users in your social applications with Yahoo!’s Social APIs.
- 9. Two ways to hack Social APIs Open applica/ons are applica/ons that run on the Yahoo! network or other open social containers OAuth applica/ons are standalone applica/ons that run off the Yahoo! network.
- 10. Easiest way to use Social APIs is via YQL
- 12. Fetching your profile data select * from social.profile where guid=me;
- 13. Profile Data
- 14. Finding your contacts select * from social.contacts where guid=me;
- 15. Contacts
- 16. Fetching any user’s profile data select * from social.profile where guid= ‘7VABDKK365VEHCUDYFO6HUSKQM’;
- 17. Fetching your updates select * from social.updates where guid=me;
- 18. Updates
- 19. Updates from your contacts select * from social.contacts.updates where guid=me;
- 20. Updates Firehose Access all Yahoo! Updates in real time via YQL h3p://www.flickr.com/photos/thomashawk/250792779/
- 22. Updates Firehose
- 23. Finding updates about iPad select * from social.updates.search where query=’iPad';
- 24. Updates associated with huffingtonpost.com select * from social.updates.search where link='huffingtonpost.com';
- 25. Tweets in Yahoo! Updates select * from social.updates.search where source = 'twitter';
- 26. Updates from your application select * from social.updates.search where source = '7BNRkt42';
- 33. More with meme • INSERT INTO meme.user.posts (type, content, caption) VALUES ("photo", "http://www.yahoo.com/ myphoto.jpg", "this is the photo caption”) • INSERT INTO meme.user.posts (type, content, caption) VALUES ("video", "http://www.vimeo.com/ 12345", "this video is awesome") • SELECT * FROM meme.search WHERE query=”hackday” • SELECT * FROM meme.popular WHERE locale='in'
- 34. Y! Social SDK What can you do? 34 h3p://www.flickr.com/photos/phploveme/2847931240/
- 35. Yahoo! Social SDK – Features • Examples for OpenSocial, PHP, Python • Performs OAuth authorizaiton • REST calls to the Yahoo! Social Web Services – Fetching Profiles – Fetching and Inserting Updates – Fetching Connections – Executing YQL

- 48. DEMO
- 61. PHP Example: OAuth Dance $session = YahooSession::requireSession($key, $secret, $app_id) $user = $session->getSessionedUser(); var_dump($user);
- 62. Social Data with YQL ‐ Recap select * from social.profile where guid=me select * from social.connections where owner_guid=me select message from social.profile.status where guid=me select * from social.updates where guid=me
- 63. PHP Example: ExecuTng YQL $session = YahooSession::requireSession($key, $secret, $app_id) $results = $session->query(‘select * from social.updates where guid=me’); var_dump($results);
- 64. PHP Example: InserTng Updates $session = YahooSession::requireSession ($key, $secret, $app_id) $user = $session->getSessionedUser(); $update = $user->insertUpdate($suid, $title, $link, $description); var_dump($update);

- 67. Appendix
- 68. What is OpenSocial? • OpenSocial API • For developing applicaTons on social networks • Accessing social data (profiles, connecTons) • Fetching and inserTng acTviTes • Implemented by many containers • Develop once, distribute broadly
- 69. Python Example: OAuth Dance oauthapp = yahoo.application.OAuthApplication (key, secret, app_id, callback) # fetch unauthorized request token request_token = oauthapp.get_request_token(callback) # authorize request token authorization_url = oauthapp.get_authorization_url(request_token) # refresh authorized request token with access token access_token = oauthapp.get_access_token(request_token) oauthapp.token = access_token
- 70. Python Example: Fetching Profile Data oauthapp = yahoo.application.OAuthApplication(key, secret, app_id, callback) profile = oauthapp.getProfile() print profile
- 71. Python Example: ExecuTng YQL oauthapp = yahoo.application.OAuthApplication(key, secret, app_id, callback) results = oauthapp.yql('select * from social.profile where guid=me') print results
