Yahoo Query Language

What is YQL?

The Yahoo Query Language is an expressive SQL-like language that lets you query, filter, and join data across Web services. With YQL, apps run faster with fewer lines of code and a smaller network footprint.
Yahoo and other websites across the Internet make much of their structured data available to developers, primarily through Web services. To access and query these services, developers traditionally endure the pain of locating the right URLs and documentation to access and query each Web service.
With YQL, developers can access and shape data across the Internet through one simple language, eliminating the need to learn how to call different APIs.

How Do I Get Started?

  1. Check out the YQL Console.
  2. Complete the The Two-Minute Tutorial.
  3. Read how to access YQL from your application.
  4. Get your API Keys to sign your requests if you need them.
  5. Check out the YQL frequently asked questions (FAQ) for answers to common issues.
