yql-node

A small module providing utility methods for accessing YQL API. Provides optional OAuth access helper. Most other node modules for YQL failed for me on large query strings so this one uses POST method.

Installation

npm install yql-node --save

Usage

  //call public endpoints out of the box by simple require
  var yql = require('yql-node');
  //or set the instance to use OAuth and non-public endpoint like this
  var yqlWithOAuth = require('yql-node').withOAuth('CONSUMER KEY','CONSUMER SECRET');
  
  var query = 'select * from html where url="http://example.com"; ';

  //these two calls will produce same results
  
  //response passed to your callback will a string containing the YQL query result
  //so you read data straight from it
  
  yql.execute(query, function(error,response){
    console.log(response);
  });

  yqlWithOAuth.execute(query, function(error,response){
    console.log(response);
  });
