I'm working on a project where I need to collect information about companies from various sources, one of which is Yahoo Finance. It seems like YQL is the best way to get this information from Yahoo.
I'm able to retrieve stock quotes with a query like
select * from pm.finance where symbol="GE"
and relevant Yahoo articles with a query like
select * from pm.finance.articles where symbol="GE"
I need to retrieve summaries of businesses as well, similar to the information included on this page, but can't figure out which table to query. Is there a YQL query that will return this information?
The biz.yahoo.com domain has been deprecated. As far as I can tell, this data is no longer available, neither through YQL nor Yahoo Finance.

I'm trying to do large amount of search queries automatically, and YQL has very attractive limitation settings. However, when I was following this post, hoping I could use YQL Bing Search or BOSS v2, through both YQL Console and url, both told me no defination of the tables...
But I found yql-tables here, which includes Bing search and BOSS search and many other tables that cannot be found through YQl Console Show Tables
The tutorials about YQL I have found are all majorly happened in 2011, that's many years ago...
So, I'm wondering, whether tables here are still valid? If so, do you know how can I use microsoft.bing.web or boss.search to get the query results?
... that cannot be found through YQl Console Show Tables
Be sure to enable "Show Community Tables" (on the left of the page, above the tables list) as shown below.
For the past year I have been able to use Yahoo YQL Rest query to obtain the currency exchange rates; however, today it has stopped working for some odd reason.

Has something changed? How can I find out what happened?
Is there an alternative solution I can use to obtain this data?
There seems to be an issue with http://datatables.org/ at the moment, which is the basis for the "Community Tables" (such as the Yahoo Finance table) on YQL. I haven't been able to find any more information on why it's down, but hopefully it comes back up soon.
I'm implementing a sorting algorithm and I want to query the Insights for Twitter API in order to find if a topic is trendy in comparison to another topic.
As far as I've investigated, there is a Count API Operation which will return the number of Tweets based on a given query. Therefore I could query how many Tweets have the particular "keyword" in their body and then compare it to other different keywords to establish an order.
Is there is a more direct query to know if a keyword is trendy?
Your approach using the /api/v1/messages/count endpoint looks like the right one when working with the Insights for Twitter API.
I guess you could also use the posted query parameter to build trending charts over time for your different keywords.
My company wants to integrate our app with Quickbooks using IPP v2 API. We would like to retrieve all financial records related to a job. I have been playing around with the API using the API explorer. I see that I have to retrieve the data separately using entities like Bill, Invoice, Journal, etc. However, I didn't seem to find a way to filter the data returned in those entities by job.
Currently, I have to query the entire Bill table for example and to look for JobId under ReimbursableInfo myself. It's not feasible since I have to do the same thing for other tables.
Am I missing something from here?
In docs, JobID is not mentioned as a filterable attribute.
Ref - https://developer.intuit.com/docs/0025_quickbooksapi/0050_data_services/v2/0500_quickbooks_windows/0600_object_reference/bill#Retrieving_Bills_Using_a_Query_Filter
You need to do client side filtering.
For Invoice, you can use JobIdSet attribute.

I'm trying to get data about currency exchange from Yahoo! finance in the csv format.
E.g. there is a lot of information in this page, but when I'm downloading csv file over the url there is no such data as Change, Bid, Ask, Prev Close, Open, etc. There is "N/A" values instead them.
How can I get complete information from relevant page?
I suggest that you use Yql. This thread provides an example: Help creating a YQL Query to search companies
