I just saw on slashdot that Yahoo has released a new search API (http://developer.yahoo.net/). I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but I'm about to.
I love these APIs. Google's API (http://www.google.com/apis/) produced some great tools, hopefully Yahoo's will, too.
From their TOS:
YOU SHALL NOT...use the Yahoo! APIs to operate nuclear facilities...
There was an adage in the Air Force that all the written technical rules we had to follow (like "wearing a parachute or restraint harness near an open door is required when in flight") came from some poor sap not having the common sense to do these things on their own and dying or becoming disfigured in some stupendous manner. I wonder if this is where this Yahoo rule came from...
