&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2010/08/api_updates_and_changes.html"&gt;Yahoo! Developer Network: Important API Updates and Changes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
Some important (and potentially worrying) news about Yahoo! APIs. The BOSS (Build your Own Search Service) API will no longer be free—not an enormous surprise, and hopefully the pricing will be sensible. Most of the other search APIs (including web, news and image search) are being turned off with no replacement, while term extraction and spelling suggestions will be YQL-only. Most worrying, changes to Geo, Maps and Local APIs will be announced in September, with some set to close. I really hope this doesn’t affect the GeoPlanet APIs.
