I was using yahoo weather API, the latest updated one which is :
http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?z=?
but it is not working for the last 2-3 days.
Can anyone let me know if there is any kind of update to this as I am not able to find it on yahoo's site or anywhere else.
Yahoo enabled OAuth1 on their weather API sometime around March 25 2016.
You can use their documentation to update your code.

It seems Twitter made lots of changes to API and Webapp so many methods that used to work in the past do not work anymore.
Which method does work as of today (April 2022) to scrape historical tweets from specific users at least the last 4+ years?
Selenium scraping: open https://www.twitter.com/ and scroll down until you have the history you need
not working, only 1 month data
https://pypi.org/project/GetOldTweets3/ - Twitter scraping of older tweets
seems to have stopped working? https://github.com/Mottl/GetOldTweets3/issues/98

There is a python based library named twint. It's an un-official sdk for twitter public API. you won't require twitter developer account or any access token.
Twint can help you in getting previous tweets and with some advanced controls.
If you feel some rate restriction from twitter for a large number of tweets, try breaking your search into smaller chunks.
Like, 10-10-2021 to 17-10-2021 (bi-weekly)
I have a sample github repo for that. Link
Hopefully, this can help!
can anyone share code to ge tweets from a certain period of time from using twitter api 1.1 from a certain duration of time.(say all the tweets with keyword "iphone" from 2015 march to 2015 december)
No.
Because Twitter does not allow search this far back on their API.
If you had used the search function:
How can I get tweets older than a week (using tweepy or other python libraries)
Twitter API not showing old tweets?
Tweepy: get old tweets now possible with Twitter search api?
Also, asking for "give me the code to do x" questions are off-topic here. (For Twitter tutorials, see the Twitter API documentation, or use a search engine)
Does the Google Places API allow writing of reviews via third party websites/apps? I'm tired of asking customers to leave reviews on Google, Yelp, Thumbtack, and Facebook for local businesses.
I've scoured all the documentation, but can't find an answer.

If it's not possible, has anyone ever had success asking Google to change a policy?
No, it's not possible. You can add places, but these are only available in your own application (unless they get added enough to be added 'globally').
When it's just about reviews, there are other apis present.
Asking google to change a policy? I've tried to have my country added to google and despite they actually have a data center present, it look them over 4 years to add it to their view of the world...
Here on Google places issue tracker is the actual issue on their bug tracker. As of april 2016 it says PendingFurtherReview. Star it for updates.
I have been using the Google Websearch API for over 1 year now. The service was deprecated in Nov 2010 but continues to provide results to date. More recently, google has started to enforce the 1,000 queries (?) per day limit on this deprecated service. I swear, last month I made over 10,000 API calls in one day without any errors from the service (same IP, same API key).
So I guess my question is has anyone found an alternative yet? I know yahoo boss is pretty good but I am working exclusively on Google for my projects. I do not mind spending money for for this service either as long as i can get 64 results from Google.
On that thought, how are services like Zoomrank able to bypass all Google limits? I have a subscription with Zoomrank and I can get daily rankings for all my keywords. Do they have a tie-up with Google or are they just accessing some secret service I don't know about.
Some people have suggested the new Google custom search, but i dont know how does that help me search the web? Google CS is limited to the CSE you create and searches within those engines. If I am looking for web results for Pizza, Google CS doesnt help me.
Thanks for your input. Much appreciated
UPDATE: #ggez44 points to some official Google documentation of the solution described below here: http://support.google.com/customsearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1210656
You can use the Google Custom Search Engine to search the entire web.
In brief:
Create a CSE that searches a single site (e.g. google.com)
In the CSE control panel's Basics section, set to "Search the entire web but emphasize certain sites"
In the Sites section, delete the single site that you added when you created the CSE
Full details here:

Once that's implemented, you can enable billing in the Google API Console at a CPM of $5, to a total of 10,000 queries.

Do we have a yahoogroups api?
I have a yahoo group and I want that whenever my RSS feeds are updated, a message should be automatically posted to the group with the link to the post.
Is that possible?
No, there is no public API for Yahoo! Groups. If such an API is ever opened up, the Yahoo Developer Network (developer.yahoo.com) will have all the details.
Disclaimer: I work at Yahoo in the YDN group.
I had a conversation with someone from Yahoo a few months ago - he said they were working on an API for their groups, but it was not yet ready for release. I have not heard anything since, and I don't know what their timeline is for this.
There is a JSON API for getting data out of a Yahoo! Group. See Yahoo! Groups - Archiveteam for more information.
