Use Yahoo! Develop your own search engine using SearchAPI-php version

Use Yahoo! SearchAPI developed its own search engine-php version on October 11, March 1, Yahoo company co-founder Yang Zhiyuan will announce that the company's search network will enter the Web service. Yahoo! has established the Yahoo Search Developer Network on www.developer.yahoo.com. The company plans to launch this plan at the Search Engine Strategies Conference held in New York. This network will allow developers to create new applications for Yahoo search, including images, videos, news, and regional searches. Members who want to use this service must first go to the http://api.search.yahoo.com/webservices/register_application to apply for a self-idnumber, note: Each idnumber can only search 5000 times a day.

Next, let's take a look at how to use a PHP script to call Yahoo! Search by using the Search API. all scripts are as follows:

// Yahoo Web Services PHP Example Code
// Rasmus Lerdorf
// Www.knowsky.com

$ Appid = 'yahoodemo ';
// Enter your ID number here

$ Service = array ('image' => 'http: // api.search.yahoo.com/ImageSearchService/V1/imageSearch ',
'Local' => 'http: // api.local.yahoo.com/LocalSearchService/V1/localSearch ',
'News' => 'http: // api.search.yahoo.com/NewsSearchService/V1/newsSearch ',
'Video' => 'http: // api.search.yahoo.com/VideoSearchService/V1/videoSearch ',
'Web' => 'http: // api.search.yahoo.com/WebSearchService/V1/webSearch ');
?>
