Is there an yahoo Api that can help you send yahoo instant messages with PHP ? I googled for it but I found forums with threads from like 3,4 years ago... I found some classes that didnt work and so on. Can someone help me?

    There are several alternatives. For starters, have you looked [here: developer.yahoo.com/messenger/guide](http://developer.yahoo.com/messenger/guide/index.html)? – paulsm4 Jan 17 '13 at 23:38

yes there is a messenger-sdk-php.

you need to create a new instance of the class:

$engine = new JYMEngine(CONSUMER_KEY, SECRET_KEY, USERNAME, PASSWORD);

signon using a yahoo account:

$engine->fetch_request_token();
$engine->fetch_access_token();
$engine->signon('Status message');

then you can send messages :

$engine->send_message('yahooID', $message);

sample client provided with the code is a good place to start. it accepts any friend requests and accepts orders like help(show available commands),news(show news titles from yahoo),...

  • to get the consumerkey and secret key , sign in to yahoo and visit [this page](https://developer.apps.yahoo.com/projects) then create a standard WebBased project. also in Access Scopes check "This app requires access to private user data." and check Full Access under Yahoo! Messenger. – Bor691 Jan 19 '13 at 19:57
