Yahoo social/contacts api -> update contact (PUT method)

So.. The application I wrote ages ago to update yahoo contacts seems to have quit working... It was using oauth1 to authenticate...

doing a PUT to http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/user/me/contacts gets me a 404 Not Found on Accelerator error

<!-- status code : 404 -->
<!-- Not Found on Accelerator -->
<!-- host machine: e20.ycpi.cha.yahoo.com -->
<!-- timestamp: 1506448562.000 -->
<!-- url: http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/user/me/contacts-->

Thinking the issue may be their oauth1 api.. I switched to oauth2

same error

So I try http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/user/me/contacts (httpS) I get 401 You are unauthorized for this operation

I'm using scope sdct-w (https://developer.yahoo.com/oauth2/guide/yahoo_scopes/)

Is Yahoo Contacts API dead or am I doing something wrong?

Solution

  • https://social.yahooapis.com/v1/user/{guid}/contacts

    a) the endpoint is now https (documentation still shows http)
    b) used to be able to use "me" for the {guid} ... this is no longer the case
