Hi Ted
I am still strugling to get the required data with microformat .
as stated earlier I have tried with view= searchmonkey_feed but it only give
result have have structured Data . The result which do not have structured Data
do not come with this .
as for your idea of Second request to get the data , I think this should work
but my question is on which field do you requery yahoo . There has to be a
unique field through which you do requery .
If possible can you send me the code of the below 2 functions you are saying .
Regards
Atul

It also calls a function called getImageForResult, which makes a secondary image
search request to see if the particular result has an image that matches the
query term.

As you mentioned, the {query term} is a required value with the BOSS
API, so therefore it is unlikely that there will be a way to accomplish
this.
But this basic API requirement is actually not surprising, as BOSS is a
query-driven service (which is also reflected in the BOSS TOS).
Therefore, all that I can suggest is that you reconsider changing the
design of your site, to allow the user to see news stories based on a
given query term (combined with a language/region combo of their
choice).

HI,
I am using Yahoo Search API to get news based on location entered. It
provides me option to specify the language and region. but it also
required one keyword to search. I dont want to search for any
particular keyword. I want to all news of selected region.
Now I am not getting any results with microformats also
I just used the sample from
http://www.bosshacks.com/build-semantic-search-boss.htmlhttp://boss.yahooapis.com/ysearch/web/v1/cocorosie+searchmonkeyid:com.yahoo.page\
.uf.hreview?appid=QLK5k0nIkY0zTCeXhqVqrvRzHUUXQBaYur6K&format=xml&start=0&count=\
15&view=keyterms%2Csearchmonkey_feed%2Csearchmonkey_rdf
or
http://boss.yahooapis.com/ysearch/web/v1/cocorosie+searchmonkeyid:com.yahoo.page\
.uf.hatom?appid=QLK5k0nIkY0zTCeXhqVqrvRzHUUXQBaYur6K&format=xml&start=0&count=15\
&view=keyterms%2Csearchmonkey_feed%2Csearchmonkey_rdf
Any Idea why the result is not coming.
If I remove search Monkey then the result comes

Hi, this is Gregg from Search Support. We had some issues this morning that we are working our way through. You should already be seeing some improvement. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for using BOSS.

I think this is fairly easy. I use simplexml to convert the BOSS xml to an array.
I have a php function called displayAresult that is called for each result. It also calls a function called getImageForResult, which makes a secondary image search request to see if the particular result has an image that matches the query term.
However, you don’t have to make a second request to searchMonkey. If Yahoo has any structured data for a result, it will be listed by adding the view=searchmonkey_ feed to your initial boss request. This gives you the structured data in your initial result set.
However, you are going to need some heavy checking to make sure the desired node is available. The structured data is a bit convoluted and each node may not appear in each result.

Dear Ted
Any help how we can do looping without any Unique id
I liked the idea of Looping and saw some similarity in your Link .
Issue is that I get the Result using Yahoo Boss , Now how do I do Looping.
Suppose I use Yahoo Boss and get 10 result . Now if I do Nested Looping and I send one of the Result Back to SearchMonkey to get Hreview , how do I do that unless I get any Unique Id to REQUERY Search Monkey .
Or do you have any other Idea for Looping which you are doing .

I didn’t realize boss had integrated searchmonkey shortcuts into
the query string. This is wonderful news. However, I don’t know if the local
results will work outside the United States. That’s just a matter of Yahoo not
having a standardized local platform around the world at this time.

I think this is fairly easy. I use
simplexml to convert the BOSS xml to an array.
I have a php function called
displayAresult that is called for each result. It also calls a function
called getImageForResult, which makes a secondary image search request to see
if the particular result has an image that matches the query term.
However, you don’t have to make a
second request to searchMonkey. If Yahoo has any structured data for a
result, it will be listed by adding the view=searchmonkey_ feed to your initial boss request.
This gives you the structured data in your initial result set.
However, you are going to need some
heavy checking to make sure the desired node is available. The structured
data is a bit convoluted and each node may not appear in each result.

I didn’t realize boss had integrated searchmonkey shortcuts into the query string. This is wonderful news. However, I don’t know if the local results will work outside the United States. That’s just a matter of Yahoo not having a standardized local platform around the world at this time.

I think this is fairly easy. I use simplexml to convert the BOSS xml to an array.
I have a php function called displayAresult that is called for each result. It also calls a function called getImageForResult, which makes a secondary image search request to see if the particular result has an image that matches the query term.
However, you don’t have to make a second request to searchMonkey. If Yahoo has any structured data for a result, it will be listed by adding the view=searchmonkey_ feed to your initial boss request. This gives you the structured data in your initial result set.
However, you are going to need some heavy checking to make sure the desired node is available. The structured data is a bit convoluted and each node may not appear in each result.

Or do you have any other Idea for Looping which you are doing .

You just need to choose either the feed or rdf pattern and then
set up your code to look for the data in those particular nodes.

Hi Atul
Are you looking for
results in the United States? If so, try this
I didn’t realize boss
had integrated searchmonkey shortcuts into the query string. This is
wonderful news. However, I don’t know if the local results will work
outside the United States. That’s just a matter of Yahoo not having a
standardized local platform around the world at this time.

I think this is fairly

I have a php
function called displayAresult that is called for each result. It also
calls a function called getImageForResult, which makes a secondary image
search request to see if the particular result has an image that matches
the query term.
However, you don’t
have to make a second request to searchMonkey. If Yahoo has any
structured data for a result, it will be listed by adding the view=searchmonkey_ feed to
your initial boss request. This gives you the structured data in your
initial result set.
However, you are going
to need some heavy checking to make sure the desired node is available.
The structured data is a bit convoluted and each node may not appear in
each result.

If I search for "crown plaza hunter valley" it does not give result with microformat
though if I do this search Yahoo Australia (au.search.yahoo.com) it gives me result with microformats .
This means Yahoo local is not working in autralia even if I have seleted RESULTS FROM AUSTRALIA .
Also can we combine the one URL with other also like
searchmonkey:local and searchmonkeyid:com.yahoo.page. uf.hreview or searchmonkeyid:com.yahoo.page. uf.hcard etc,
As I am still not getting the RATINGS .
Thanks again . PLEASE HELP ME OR IF POSSIBLE PROVIDE ME ANY DIRECT EMAIL OR TELEPHONE SO THAT I CAN DISCUSS THIS BECUASE I AM NOW IN THE VERGE OF LOSING THIS PROJECT AND MONEY

You just need to choose either the feed or rdf pattern and then set up your code to look for the data in those particular nodes.

Hello Ted
Also I noticed in the below XML that the data in searchmonkey_ feed and searchmonkey_ rdf are different like the telephone number is not in feed .
This will also be a problem since we are using feed data in our php program . How to use rdf data .
Any help please

Hello Ted
If you remember we have been discussing about this for last 2 months on the same blog .
I wanted to get Address , Image , Ratings just like you search for "Capitol Grille" on Yahoo .com and you get the result . Check the attached image .
with Yahoo local I am not getting the IMAGE and RATING . Please inform which tags show image and rating and how to extract them
<b>Capitol</b> <b>Grille</b> - Hermitage Hotel - Nashville, Nashville, TN : Reviews and maps - Yahoo! Local, 615.345.7116. Get Ratings, Reviews, Photos and more on Yahoo! Local.
