Yahoo Query Language GraphQL GraphQL API v1
The Yahoo Query Language, YQL, is a GraphQL endpoint that enables mutable queries by using the selected parameters. The API accepts diagnostics, format, cross product, and statement as parameters. YQL exposes a SQL-like SELECT syntax that is both familiar to developers and expressive enough for getting the right data. Data is offered in JSON or XML.
