Problem fetching contacts from Yahoo! Address Book using PHP's CURL.
- by Ravi
Hi
I had to get the user's yahoo address book using PHP's CURL when user gave login name and password. It was working fine. Address book has been got as CSV format. But now suddenly things are stop working. I am just getting some yahoo's html code instead of CSV format.
I am guessing that yahoo is somehow restricted fetching address book using CURL.
I did one experiment that I manually did the import contacts from Yahoo service. Before importing contacts yahoo shown the CAPTCHA to verify. I guess this CAPTCHA mechanism is recently added. Is this CAPTCHA mechanism preventing to get the address book when I am using PHP's CURL?
Actually I do not want get address book using Yahoo OAuth or BBAuth.
Any one have idea?
