Yahoo! Research gives the Buzz Game a REST
by Rael Dornfest | comments: 1
The Yahoo! Research Labs / O'Reilly Buzz Game is now available via read-only RESTian web service interface. Here are the results of a request for information on the SAFARI stock in the BROWSER market:
<!DOCTYPE ResultSet> <ResultSet xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="urn:yahoo:research" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:yahoo:research http://buzz.research.yahoo.com/bk/rest/info.xsd" > <Stock id="2071" symbol="SAFARI" name="Safari"> <Price>4.45</Price> <Buzz>0.12</Buzz> <Shares>12390</Shares> </Stock> </ResultSet>
The URL http://buzz.research.yahoo.com/bk/rest/allinfo.xml provides a dump of all stocks, all markets.
The API is fully documented on the Buzz Game site.
