Accessing the Yahoo Web Search API from MzScheme

June 14th 2007 Posted to Lisp, Programming, Scheme, Web, Yahoo

A bit of Scheme code that I was dorking around with a long time ago and never got around to posting. This probably only works in MzScheme since it uses implementation-specific APIs to do HTTP.

Here’s an example of using it:

marc@tbird:~/projects/scheme$ mzscheme
Welcome to MzScheme version 352, Copyright (c) 2004-2006 PLT Scheme Inc.
> (load "yahoo-web-search.scm")
> (for-each-result
        (lambda(x)
                (let ((result (result->struct x)))
                        (printf "~s~n" (result-url result))))
        "query=coroutines")

I’m no Scheme expert so this code is probably not particularly smart or readable, but maybe it will inspire somebody…
