Use Yahoo! Shopping Data on Your Website

Yahoo! provides web developers an easy way to bring shopping closer to its readers (and make money at the same time) with the Yahoo! Shopping API, which uses the search engine's database of millions of product offers and thousands of merchants available through its Shopping site.

The Yahoo! Shopping API enables Web site owners and software developers to use Yahoo! comparison shopping data in their site and applications, as well as displaying prices and enabling new and innovative ways of searching for the hottest and newest products.

Web developers can allow its readers to search for products by keyword, limit to a specific merchant, price range or product category, and even filter merchants according to their Yahoo! user ratings. The Yahoo! Shopping API also gives developers access to millions of products offered by multiple merchants and compare returning base price, tax and shipping info, and even the total price based on zip code.

They can also syndicate products from Yahoo! Shopping and earn money in the process through the Shopping Paid Syndication Program. This program is currently on beta phase and only accepts a limited number of applicants. To apply, proceed to its sign-up page.
