Wait till I come! » Blog Archive » Tutorial: scraping and turning a web site into a widget with YQL
by karlcow
how you can easily re-use content on the web. The answer I gave was by using YQL
PhotoMaker
by karlcow
interesting how Placemaker reacts differently to a text with "Rouen" and "at Rouen"This small mashup uses YQL to combine the power of Flickr and Yahoo! Placemaker. Copy and paste some text into the textbox below and click the button — application will first geo-locate all places in the text, and then will try to find photographs, published under Creative Commons license, which were geotagged at or near found places.

Yahoo! Query Language documentation - YDN
by parmentierf
(via)
Yahoo! makes a lot of structured data available to developers, primarily through its web services. These services require developers to locate the right URLs for accessing them and the documentation for querying them. In contrast, the YQL platform provides a single endpoint service that enables developers to query, filter, and combine data across Yahoo! and beyond. YQL exposes a SQL-like SELECT syntax that that is both familiar to developers and expressive enough for getting the right data. Through the SHOW and DESC commands we enable developers to discover the available data sources and structure without opening another web browser.
