Yahoo! Address Book API released
Internet media giant Yahoo has announced the release of their APIs for the Yahoo! Address Book.
This would now enable social networks to allow their members to import their friends and other contacts directly from Yahoo servers.
A company representative added that they are also now working on implementing the OAuth open protocol to allow secure API authentication in a future release.
Yahoo gave details in a blog post:
The Yahoo! Address Book (AB) API is a JSON/XML interface for accessing and updating the Yahoo! Address Book using a web service. It can be used to look up addresses for auto-completion of emails, to add addresses for future shipping information, to obtain unique identifiers for network invites, or to sync with another address book.
