Description
This is a simple implementation of version 1 of Yahoo! Answers API. It allows you to search Yahoo! Answers, returning the questions found and it’s answers.
Using Yahoo::Answers
First you’ll need a Yahoo Application ID. You can register for one here:
api.search.yahoo.com/webservices/register_application
Then simply create a Yahoo::Answers object with your API Key and start searching for answers:
require 'rubygems'
require 'yahoo/answers'
ya = Yahoo::Answers.new api_key
results = ys.search(:query => 'cars')
results.each do |result|
puts result.inspect
end
Note on Patches/Pull Requests
-
Fork the project.
-
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
-
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
-
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
