Questions tagged [yql]

The Yahoo! Query Language was an expressive SQL-like language that lets you query, filter, and join data across Web services.

As of Thursday, January 3, 2019, the YQL service is retired.

Historical information.

Yahoo! and other websites across the Internet made much of their structured data available to developers, primarily through Web services. To access and query these services, developers traditionally endured the pain of locating the right URLs and documentation to access and query each Web service.

With YQL, developers could access and shape data across the Internet through one simple language, eliminating the need to learn how to call different APIs.
