Yahoo! Inbound Links API
http://developer.yahoo.net/search/siteexplorer/V1/inlinkData.html27th of November 2005
Had a quick play with Yahoo!'s Inbound Links API today. You use their web services API to check which other URLs a URL is linked to from. This can come in handy if you want to know which other sites make a link to your article. Googleblog is using this (obviously not by using the Yahoo! API); look at this blog post for example and scroll to the end of the text.
The inspiration came from Fredrik Lundh's term extraction example that I'm actually now use in a production site. So I basically took Fredriks code and modified it for Inbound Links.
Here's an example of how you can use it:
>>> for d in inlinkData(Get_Your_Own_Yahoo_App_ID,
"http://www.peterbe.com/", results=5):
... printu(d['title'])
... print d['url']
I don't think my example is going to impress the masses but hopefully it might inspire people to write their own little applications and continue to enjoy Fredriks lovely ElementTree.
