Greetings,

I've made available an asdf-installable library called CL-YAHOO for
accessing Yahoos API (http://developer.yahoo.net/) with common lisp.

So far it supports web search, image search, news search, video search,
and local search (like the Yellow Pages).

It hasn't really been tested, so there are probably some bugs. Also, it
is my first CL program outside of school that I've actually finished,
and it probably shows. I'd be happy to hear about any problems.

An example of a web search:

CL-USER> (ysearch 'web "lisp" :type 'any :results 2 :start 3)
(#<http://www.lisp.org/table/contents.htm> #<http://clisp.cons.org/>)
CL-USER> (summary (second *))
"... The benefits of Common Lisp and CLISP. why is ANSI Common Lisp such
a great programming environment? ..."
CL-USER>

Finding phone numbers for pizza places in an area (local search):

CL-USER>
(mapcan
  (lambda (pizza-joint)
    (format t "~%~a: ~a"
		   (title pizza-joint)
		   (phone pizza-joint)))
  (ysearch 'local "pizza" :results 3 :zip 94306))

Round Table Pizza Palo Alto: (650) 494-2928
Pizza Chicago: (650) 424-9400
Domino's Pizza: (650) 326-6552
NIL
CL-USER>

There is no "proper" web page, and probably won't be, but cliki has a
page with some information and examples. See also the README for a more
thorough description.

Enjoy.

Martin
