Today, we’re excited to announce the new Yahoo Developer Network (YDN) website. Supporting external developers with open source and open APIs has long been key to Yahoo’s success. With over 500,000 developers using Yahoo APIs, we needed a new home to support our developer community. The updated site significantly improves the experience for developers and advertisers using Yahoo APIs such as Search and advertising (Gemini).

What’s new?

Revamped experience: Based on your feedback, we’ve redesigned the site to make it easier for you to use our products. Our new design is mobile-friendly with an easier to use navigation and structure.

Documentation: With our new Getting Started Guides, it’s now faster to create applications using Yahoo APIs. We’re also featuring code examples in different languages to get you up and running as quickly as possible.

Developer Forums: This is the place to find answers or ask questions which may arise when developing with Yahoo APIs.

OAuth 2.0 Support: OAuth 2.0 is the next evolution of the OAuth protocol. We now support OAuth 2.0 for newer Yahoo APIs like Gemini API.

Attribution Guidelines: When you build a product using Yahoo APIs, follow the attribution guidelines posted here.
