Automated Searching of Yahoo!

Any API tools out there?

If you're looking to do automated queries of Yahoo, have they ever given access to their database in the same way as Google does with their API?

Also, anyone ever hear of an IP being banned for doing too many automated searches on Y?

most definatly, but it is not as quick as Google.

Is the ban permanent Brett? (We've had it happen before with Google but it only lasted for 24 hours - not sure if this is even normal for G?)
