Any plans to add support for posting questions to Y! Answers via the
API? I could understand why not, but I'm curious if it has been
considered. Thanks!

Hi,
I think I'm having similar problems.. except for me it's 90% of the
time I get an error, When I enter my query into a browser I sometimes
get this server response:
HTTP Error 408 / 409 - Not acceptable / Resource conflict
Internet Explorer
it used to work ok (not played much with the answers api lately so
would have been late December last year) The same query will work
eventually and return the correct result set.

What does this error mean? It worked yesterday, for the same exact
query (see below). Does it mean I exceeded my limit?
Query:
"http://answers.yahooapis.com/AnswersService/V1/getByUser?appid=<...>
&user_id=1ccf4408a6862b6272c7872e63b19c51aa
&type=resolved

&start=0"
Thanks,

Hello all,
I use the answers api to the question text for a given qid using -->
"http://answers.yahooapis.com/AnswersService/V1/getQuestion?
However, the results contain the encoded character set for specical
characters --> (' for a single quote and so on)
Due to this, my server cannot read anything after & and the text input
is broken.
Now I am trying to use French characters and it is going to be
horrible for that.
What's the easiest way to handle this?
Thanks,
Deepa
The URLs returned in the API do not work correctly in Firefox
(returning "There was a problem performing that action, please try
again later"). Work well in IE.
Example:
<Link>
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20070410224242AAu4B1u
</Link>
You are right. Seems resolved now.
Pawel.

Hi all,
I have tried using API on a few question ids, my question is can I
obtain no of voting for each answer for the questions returned?

maggy
I have made several attempts to generate an application id. In each
case I filled out the provided form, received text to be placed in a
file and uploaded to the site's root folder. Having done so I have
successfully verified via the registration site file check. When I
continue I receive a page containing the following:
--------------------------------------------------
Congratulations, jah_canal_alarm, your application is now registered!
Yeah!
* Your application id is
To view your current application ids, click here.
You may want to print this page for your records.
Here's what to do next.

Assistance in this matter would be deeply appreciated<grin>

Hi all,
I attempted to use the api, and received http response 403, forbidden/
unauthorized after 1000<request< 2000 . I understand there is a daily
limit, however I think I haven't exceeded the daily limit yet.
is this problem is due to daily limet? should I wait to the next day to
continue downloading the data from Yahoo Answers or is there any good
solution to it?
Looking forwardto your reply, I'll highly appreciate it.
regards
maggy

Dear all,
how to obtain questions by category from a period of date.
I tried to use search by category, with order: date_asc. At each
request, I set maximum questions = 50. When I use date_desc option,
the request behaves similarly after less than 100 requests.
these are what I have attempted:
After the 200th request (question 10000), on the subsequent requests,
using Date_asc option:
first request I obtain the questions at Dec 2005
at 200th request I obtain questions dated July 2006
using date_desc option:
first request I obtain Sept 2007
after around 100 requests, I obtain questions dated August 2007
so, I still need questions from july 2006 to july 2007. Anyway to
obtain these questions?
best regards
maggy anastasia
can somebody please answer my question?

I'm not sure I know how to do such a thing. I just used it for the get category
function (and took it as a block)

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way for getting all the questions for a
certain date. I know there's date range parameter for Answers APIs,
but it doesn't do any good given that you can get only up to 1000
results in return.

Can you show us actual code and/or
URL examples? It's hard to tell exactly what you're trying based on
your description. Seeing the code and/or URLs will remove any
ambiguity.

I only can manage to take the first 10000 questions (200 results,
each containing 50 questions)
I think the problem is not with the API but it seems that we can only
obtain 10000 questions for searchByCategory and 1000 questions for
search by keywords.
I really need to obtain more questions for a category

Hello all,
I have failed to extract comments for a question using APIs. I
realized that while API call for a question tell you how many
comments are there and throw back <comments></comments> part, the
<comment> tag inside that does not contain any comments, even for the
questions for which there are non-zero comments. Anyone else
experiencing this issue? Any way to resolve this?
Thanks.
