Yahoo! Login

Hi! Thanks for fixing the class.. It is now working with Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, and MySpace.. Unfortunately, now it fails to log in Friendster... The 2005-12-12 version works with MySpace and Friendster..

Humm... that is what I feared but forgot to double-check. It seems that some sites do not like cookie values that are decoded and reencoded by browsers.

I just uploaded a fixed version that stores and send back cookie values as they are served by the browser.

I confirmed that it works properly with Yahoo and Friendster, so it should work well with others.

Hi, it is now working very well with all the classes I made thank you very much... Hopefully I can find time to submit them here... Again, thank you very much... :)

Hi!

I'm working on a birthday alarm site and I would like my users to be able to extract their Address Books from Yahoo!, MSN and Gmail. Did you publish that class? If not, can I have it by email? :D I tried to search Yahoo Grabber but I wasn't able to find it here.

My email is ketlane at yahoo.com. I would appreciate it very much.

Due to many requests I have released now an add-on class that can be used to log in Yahoo and execute actions on behalf of the logged user, like exporting the address book or sending invitations to his groups.

I'm trying to use your HTTPClient class to log into my Yahoo account and grab info from my stock portfolio page (finance.yahoo.com).

At first, I just want a php page that will log in for me and echo the page's content to my browser.

When I get that working, I'd like to have the php page do some processing on the html content before echoing it to strip out some annoying stuff.

Any idea where I should start?

I was looking at your yahoo_user class and thinking that I should probably implement the functionality that I want in a new method called "ExportStockPortfolio" or "GetStockPortfolio" or something like that.

If I did that, then I could just the yahoo_user class like you did in yahoo_export_address_book.php.

You can start looking at the InviteToGroup function of the Yahoo class.

What you want is probably simpler than that function because it logs in, accesses a page, submits a form and process the resulting page with a few regular expressions.

What you want does not seem to even need any form submission, so it may take less code.

Hmmm... I got something sort-of working. Meaning that it successfully logs into Yahoo and fetches the page. The problem is that I think that the page is actually generated in the browser using javascript write calls and something ajax-like, so the raw source that HTTPClient grabs doesn't have any of the data I want. :(

I think that the information you want is linked to from the section starting with <noscript>.

I can see ticker symbols and some links but the actual information may be on different pages.

I suggest that you disable the Javascript on your browser and try to access the site to see what are the actual URLs of the pages that contain the content you want.
