Published September 6th, 2005


Yahoo is trying to make it easier for companies to create e-commerce Web sites.
Yahoo on Tuesday unveiled APIs for Yahoo Shopping that developers can use to build applications into their Web sites to allow customers to search and compare products and prices from within Yahoo’s merchant databases.
The product search API lets developers add applications onto commerce sites that search the Yahoo Shopping database by keyword, merchant, price range or product category and filter merchants according to their Yahoo User ratings.
The price comparison grid API provides access to millions of products from thousands of merchants with base price, tax and shipping information and total price, based on postal code.
