Yahoo BOSS Search (Limited Web) : Valid AppID but requires registration - oauth

I had this BOSS API working for years, but since yesterday (I think), we don't get any new results , only this message:
{"error":{"lang":"en-US","description":"Valid AppID but requires
registration."}}
Other people seem to have the same problem, since the question was posted on Yahoo BOSS board as well, but without answer, I just thought maybe someone here will know what to do :)
Credit card and billing seem to be in order.
Is there anything I can do from my side, or is this yahoo's issue?
Thanks!

As of April 11, 2018, the Yahoo BOSS API is really not working anymore (it's indicated as March 31, 2016, but it actually worked until April 2018).
https://developer.yahoo.com/boss/search/

The easiest would be to test your AppID in clean environment.
Either by testing Example Code provided at BOSS Search API and see if you get the same error.
Or by querying directly boss.search table at Yahoo Console (populate your ck and secret).
So maybe it's just temporary glitch. If it is not, contact Yahoo Support.

Yahoo BOSS support confirmed it was something on their own side but they were dragging their feet over a month. All it was needed was to create a new account with Yahoo, register an app and fill in the same billing info. With the new account created everything worked fine :)

Developer Dashboard Bug. No OAuth token for packaged app

Seriously, how do I do this? I've looked and Googled for two days, and it's not there.
I'm trying to sell an app through the Google Web Store. It is a packaged off-line app, with a custom server backend.
I think to do this I need the Licensing API, and that says I need an OAuth Token. I'm following these instructions to get the token.
Here are screenshots of my view of the Chrome App in the Developer Dashboard. My app's id is: lhhdccfgjpdaidjegbioednlnlidefno
I figured out app needs to be "public" to get the "Change Pricing"
button. Ok. Changed it to Chrome Web Store Payments.
After setting the pricing to Chrome Web Store Payments, I publish the app publicly,
but no OAuth token link appears. I don't see an option for this in
any of the UI.
How do I use the Licensing API with a packaged app?
Please help!
Mike
thanks everyone who read/answered this. The missing piece was here:
https://developer.chrome.com/apps/app_identity
Chrome has a browser API to call to get the token. There is no need to get it from the Developer Dashboard, hence I couldn't find it. I think much of the documentation is out of date and written before Chrome had the browser API for this.
This URL is likely a good example even for subscriptions. https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/one_time_payments
Thanks for your help!

Post on friend's wall from october 2013 onwards

I am developing an iOS and android app in which I have to give a functionality to user so as he can post on my App's wall from their account. I have found in Facebook developers forum that this functionality has been removed.
Can anyone please suggest me how to achieve the same anyhow.
Please provide a link if possible.
Thanks In Advance :)
Apps don't have a 'wall' since February of 2013 or so - your app can have a Page, but there's nothing special about that page or how users can write posts on the page's timeline via the API - it's just the normal documentation for posting to /<page>/feed on behalf of your app's users

Developer Token approval?

Normally how long will it take for Google to approve GAdwords developer token? I'd sent an email to Google Adwords APIs team in the month of Jan. but haven't hear back from them yet.
What should I do?
I would definitely follow up, a link in the chain may have been missed. However, it can take several months - it did for me, despite the marketing team hammering Google repeatedly for results. The company I work for spends many millions on AdWords every year, which does not necessarily make us a "big fish"... but if you're a lone developer it may take even longer.

How to access Twitter Web Analytics?

Twitter Web Analytics was announced by Twitter back on September 13th of this year (see this post: https://dev.twitter.com/blog/introducing-twitter-web-analytics) and it was announced that it would be available to the general public in the following weeks after that.
It's now almost two months later, so it should be available for everyone now, in theory. Does anyone know how to access the new Twitter Web Analytics? I don't see it in my Twitter account, is is available at a separate web address?
In theory, it should be out by now.
In practice, its still in private beta, with no clear indication of when its actually coming out for broader public use.
Their advertising page says its still only available to advertisers, and there haven't been any major subsequent announcements since that blog post indicating when it was actually going public.

Does MSN/Hotmail support OAuth?

I want to allow users on my website to import contacts from their hotmail account, using OAuth. Is it possible?
Looks like Microsoft is working on this at the moment: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/ff688938.aspx
They already have the OAuth WRAP (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff750690.aspx) library that you can use to connect Windows Live services, however it is in beta and is not freely available (you must join the beta program).
Anyone has any info on how long might this take?
We wrote up a detailed timeline of all of the changes that have happened over Microsoft regarding their contacts API and OAuth here:
http://www.cloudsponge.com/news/2013/11/29/300-percent-increase-in-outlook.com-import-conversions/
Have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff749458.aspx. I've tried to get my "MSN Invite contacts" function working right now and that's what I've found this far. Works excellent!
