It hasn’t been long since developers responded with fear that Yahoo’s innovative search tools could go away. Now two of the smaller, but still well-loved, APIs have been given less than a month to live.
In a message on Yahoo’s developer forum, YDN’s Brian Cantoni posted a short and to the point notice:
“We now have an official closure date of August 31, 2009 for the Term Extraction and Contextual Web Search services. Internally, both services share a backend data source that is closing down, so the publicly-facing YDN services will be closing as well.”
And at the top of Yahoo’s documentation pages for these APIs is the clear message. . .
