Yahoo Shopping API endpoint
Returns a single Yahoo Shopping article's full content: title, description, author, publish/update time, section, image, keywords, original publisher, and body paragraphs. Accepts a canonical shopping.yahoo.com article URL, such as one returned by the home or category story streams.
/yahoo-shopping/articleReturns a single Yahoo Shopping article's full content: title, description,
author and profile URL when linked, publish/update time, section, image,
keywords, original publisher, and body paragraphs. Accepts a canonical shopping.yahoo.com article URL,
such as one returned by the home, category, sitemap, or archive pages. Both
singular /article/ and plural /articles/ URL paths are supported.
Query parameters:
url (required) -- a canonical shopping.yahoo.com/.../article/....html or
shopping.yahoo.com/.../articles/....html URL.Notable response behavior:
provider is the original outlet Yahoo Shopping syndicates the story
from (e.g. "Yahoo Life"), separate from Yahoo Shopping itself.keywords contains the tag-like keywords attached to this individual
article. Yahoo Shopping has no global tag directory or tag-filter endpoint.author_url, when present, is the public author profile linked from the
article byline. Pass its final path segment to /yahoo-shopping/author.paragraphs can be an empty array for an article whose metadata loaded
but whose body content did not render -- this is returned as a normal
200, not an error. A response missing both metadata and body
paragraphs is treated as an upstream error (parser drift or a block),
not a silent empty success.url that isn't a shopping.yahoo.com article URL returns 400.| Field | In the sample | Value in the sample |
