by Rael Dornfestcomments: 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.

About time. Why doesn't everything on the web have a proper API?
