Why YQL? Thousands of Web Services and sources that provide valuable data Require Developers to read documentation and form URLs/queries. Data is isolated Needs ﬁltering, combining, tweaking, shaping even after it gets to the developer.

YQL Hosted web service and SQL-Like Language Familiar to developers Synonymous with Data access Expressive enough to get the right data. Self describing - show, desc table Allows you to query, ﬁlter and join data across any structured data on the web / web services Real time engine

YQL Statement Basics show: lists the supported tables desc: describes the structure of a table select: fetches data insert/update/delete: modify data new today use: use an Open Data Table show tables desc social.contacts

YQL Select Statement SELECT what FROM collection WHERE filter condition IN (sub-select) LIMIT n OFFSET n

Demo: developer.yahoo.com/yql/

Get any data: open data tables

Open Data Tables YQL

Open Data Tables Bindings YQL

Open Data Tables Map YQL to Endpoint YQL

Open Data Tables Brings the power of the table model to new APIs Schema deﬁnes mapping between YQL and Endpoint Keys can either be query, path or matrix parameters Keys can be marked as required YQL Compiler validates existence of required keys

Open Data Tables

USE Verb use ‘http://url-to-def.xml’ as tableName; select * from tableName where key=‘value’... Imports the Table deﬁnition Makes it available to following statements as tableName desc tableName - describes the def Acts like a First Class Data Source just like other YQL Tables.

Community: github/datatables.org

Share your work leverage the work of others to make access easier by sharing tables github repository: http://github.com/yql/yql-tables/tree/master datatables.org mirrors the master and builds a single environment with all tables -> faster serving http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?env=http:// datatables.org/alltables.env

Do it your way: <execute>

YQL Execute extends Open Data Tables with server-side code access APIs that require authentication Netflix OAuth, FlickrAuth, Google AuthSub join data across services grab New York Times article tags and generate find associated flickr photos combine multiple searches into a single result: twitter, web, news and image

YQL Execute augment data: city/state to APIs that just return zip code create APIs from web page celebrity birthdays scraped from imdb, caltrain data transformation convert the result from xml to Google's kml format move business logic of your application to the cloud

<execute> Javascript server-side scripting No DOM, events etc, pure JS scripting E4X support - XML literals, ﬁltering ... YQL no longer performs the GET request to the table binding URL Javascript has additional useful global objects y.rest, y.include, y.query... execute tag must return the data that will be the output of the YQL select

Just released today INSERT INTO internet

Insert / Update / Delete With INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE SQL verbs developers can modify data on the internet, e.g. create tweets, add blog entries, update DBs etc Open Data Tables specify what ﬁelds are needed and how to bind the SQL to the remote web service Some tables with I/U/D Twitter Status, Bit.ly shortener Yahoo proﬁle status, application update stream Amazon SimpleDB

select * from twitter.status where id="2108869549" and username="xxx" and password="yyy" <select itemPath="" produces="XML"> <urls><url>http://twitter.com/statuses/show/{id}.xml</url></urls> <inputs> <key id="username" type="xs:string" required="false" paramType="variable"/> <key id="password" type="xs:string" required="false" paramType="variable"/> <key id="id" type="xs:integer" required="true" paramType="path"/> </inputs> <execute><![CDATA[ var r = null; if (username && password) { y.include("http://yqlblog.net/samples/base64.js"); var authheader = "Basic "+Base64.encode(username+":"+password); r = request.header("Authorization",authheader).get().response; } else { r = request.get().response; } response.object = r; ]]></execute> </select>

insert into twitter.status (status,username,password) values ("new tweet from YQL",”xxx”,”yyy”); <insert itemPath="" produces="XML"> <urls> <url>http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml</url> </urls> <inputs> <value id="username" type="xs:string" required="true" paramType="variable"/> <value id="password" type="xs:string" required="true" paramType="variable"/> <value id="status" type="xs:string" required="true" paramType="variable"/> </inputs> <execute><![CDATA[ y.include("http://yqlblog.net/samples/base64.js"); var authheader = "Basic "+Base64.encode(username+":"+password); var content = "status="+status; response.object = request.header("Authorization",authheader).post(content).response; ]]></execute> </insert>

Conclusion More easily build applications fewer lines of code data processing done away from app consistent and familiar syntax for all data access iterative environment for developing the query

Conclusion build applications that run faster service in the cloud does the work conversion, ﬁltering, parallel requests... with smaller network footprint fewer (client) calls smaller data amounts closer to the data, fatter pipes
