Im really pleased to announce that my team released YQL today as part of the larger YOS 1.0 release. You can read some docs here, and even better, give it a test drive using our console.
Yahoo! makes a lot of structured data available to developers through its web services, like Flickr and Local, and through [...]
Everyday as I drive to work I go past 2 gas stations that are about 1 block apart. Every since Ive lived in the area the “76″ as been incredibly expensive and the gap just keeps getting bigger compared to another gas station on the same street, on the same side of the street, just [...]
While we’re still putting the finishing touches to YQL’s launch, I’d like to share a query that highlights a lot of interesting aspects of the service:
SELECT * FROM social.profile WHERE guid IN
(SELECT guid FROM social.connections WHERE owner_guid=me)
| sort(field=”nickname”)
Some things worth noting:
me is a shorthand method to express your “guid”, [...]
Here’s another query to show what kinds of things YQL can do:
select * from local.search where query=”sushi”
and location=”san francisco, ca”
and Rating.AverageRating>4.0
This one applies a combination of remote filtering on the web service (in this case local) and local filtering at the YQL engine. So the query gets all the [...]
I recently talked about one of the projects I’ve been working on at Yahoo!, YQL, at the Yahoo! Open Hack day where hackers had some time to play with it. YDN has just released the presentation I did:
We’re still putting the finishing touches on the system but the documentation and slides have gone up and [...]

Here are a set of throughput measurements using two Apple Airport Extreme Base Stations (AEBS) in a very simple setup. Both AEBS’ are gigabit versions running 7.2.1 firmware [...]
Im presenting at the Open Hack Day in London this weekend and as part of it I’ve knocked up a quick example script for executing pipes from Javascript on your web site, and getting the results as an object in a JS function (so you can loop and display the contents for example). You can [...]
Im happy to announce that we’ve massaged (to borrow from Flickr) the Pipes web site and other parts of the system quite a bit in the last few weeks and pushed out a new version tonight. Its part of ongoing work to make the site easier to use and we hope to keep the changes [...]
Google recently invited the team to give a tech talk about Pipes.
If you’re interested in some background about the project and some of the issues we were thinking about you can see Pasha and myself talking here
I noticed a few blogs mentioning that Pipes uses Google’s open source canvas wrapper library for drawing the editor lines in IE, and wanted to comment on that.
Yup, its true.
Yup, its a nice little open source library that solved a small problem that would have taken a little while to work around. It draws the [...]
