Ruby API for Yahoo! Search Web Services

So my employer has released APIs to play with Yahoo! Search.

So they have Java, JavaScript, Perl, PHP, Python APIs. No Ruby. :-| So I present a Ruby API for Yahoo! Search Web Services. No error handling, etc. No time, etc.

Sample usage »

require 'yahoo-ruby'

webObj = WebSearch.new('YOUR-APP_ID' ,'premshree')
p webObj.parse_results

videoObj = VideoSearch.new('YOUR-APP_ID' ,'pamela anderson')
p videoObj.parse_results

Oh yeah, you’ll need an Application ID.

Enjoi!

Do you know the difference between an application and an API?

Sorry for the stupid question, but is there a way to limit the date range of a query?

I’m not sure you can do that.

Thumbs?

I'm a bit of a ruby noob, so the answer to my question may an easy
one. Is it possible to get the thumbnail for an image using
ImageSearch? If so, could someone post some example ruby code that demonstrates how to do this. I am able to get the full size image, etc but not the thumb.
Best,
Max

Umm, the Yahoo! Web Service itself provides the thumbnail URL. However, I haven’t implemented it in the interface. You could hack it up if you like.

I need to rework the interface...
