search APIs and tools

Yahoo provides search APIs like:

BOSS

  • Yahoo Search BOSS
    • When calling the BOSS web search API, you can retrieve all structured data Yahoo! has extracted for the specified URLs via SearchMonkey, including any microformats. Just add the parameters "view=searchmonkey_feed&format=xml" to your web search API call. This is probably the most efficient way to fetch structured data from Yahoo!.
    • Build a semantic Search Engine with BOSS documents how to use Yahoo's BOSS API to access Yahoo SearchMonkey which supports the hAtom, hCalendar, hCard, hReview, XFN, geo, rel-tag, adr microformats.
