PSA: Yahoo Fantasy Football Devs, changes have been made to the developer API...
Hello fellow devs, I was preparing my side project for the up coming season when I saw what appears to be, that, Yahoo has made changes to their API ...well sorta. It seems now that you have to "apply" to use their API, however I am not too sure about this since it seems you can still make APIs in their developer portal, but only have READ access, no writes.
This is the new site: https://sports.yahoo.com/developer/ -- wayback machine shows that this site started appearing around early May
Along with the form to submit for approval, lol https://sports.yahoo.com/developer/access/ -- the information on the form makes it appear that you won't be able to create developer apps anymore soon but I was able to make one, perhaps brand new accounts can't? Or maybe they haven't rolled out the change yet...ugh
Hopefully this doesn't change too much but there appears to be some extra disclaimers as well, such as having to include text and their proper logos if using their API now.
So yay.... I haven't seen too much into any API changes yet (other than new doc pages finally, but at a glance appears to just be ported over) but so far my apps appear to still work so I think we are OK for now...
