美国东部时间3月1日,雅虎公司联合创始人之一的杨致远将公布公司的搜索网络将进入Web服务。雅虎公司在www.developer.yahoo.com网站建立了Yahoo Search Developer Network,公司计划在此纽约举行的搜索引擎战略大会(Search Engine Strategies Conference)上推出这一计划。该网络将答应开发者在雅虎搜索之上建立新的应用程序,其中包括图像、视频、新闻以及地区搜索等内容。想要使用这项服务的会员必须先去http://api.search.yahoo.com/webservices/register_application 申请一个自已的ID号,注:每个ID号天天只能搜索5000次。
下面我们看一下,如何用javascript脚本调用Yahoo! Search API实现搜索的效果,全部脚本如下:
