Question

Is there an yahoo Api that can help you send yahoo instant messages with PHP ?
I googled for it but I found forums with threads from like 3,4 years ago… I found some classes that didnt work and so on. Can someone help me?

Answer 1

yes there is a messenger-sdk-php.

you need to create a new instance of the class:

$engine = new JYMEngine(CONSUMER_KEY, SECRET_KEY, USERNAME, PASSWORD);

signon using a yahoo account:

$engine->fetch_request_token();
$engine->fetch_access_token();
$engine->signon('Status message');

then you can send messages :

$engine->send_message('yahooID', $message);

sample client provided with the code is a good place to start. it accepts any friend requests and accepts orders like help(show available commands),news(show news titles from yahoo),…
