Yahoo Keeps Turning Off The Lights; Shopping API Goes Dark.

Yahoo Keeps Turning Off The Lights; Shopping API Goes Dark.

Yahoo has continued its recent habit of canceling major projects. This time it announced the demise of its Shopping API on its developer network blog.

The move comes after Yahoo entered a deal with PriceGrabber to display results in the Yahoo shopping area. Developers who currently use the Shopping API to power their own applications will have to apply to PriceGrabber in order to get permission to continue using the Yahoo service.

In TechCrunch’s words, “Lame.”
