@Arun Edakunni Variyath ,

Yahoo Weather API Proxy has been discontinued after yahoo upgraded the security of their weather APIs. See more details here.

@docs team is updating API Proxy Getting Started tutorial with Hello World APIs. Please keep us posted if you have any specific issue getting started with oAuth & Hello World APIs. Please refer to https://docs.apigee.com for more details.

I have logged into yahoo developer portal and created an app with call back domain as apigee.net. I got the client id and secret. I was wondering if I can configure the yahoo weather api using the same or is it not at all possible to use yahoo api at all?. May be a foolish question.

@Arun Edakunni Variyath Great Question, No Question is a foolish question in community 🙂

You can also proxy APIs secured by OAuth. Yahoo Weather API Proxy expects you to implement OAuth 1.0 to make API calls with access tokens. I believe implementing same will be time-consuming for newbie in Apigee. We would suggest use Apigee Hello World APIs like http://asagarnodeapp-test.apigee.net/v0/hello/ip to get started. If you are interested to use Yahoo Weather API, Seems like they reopened public access to some of their APIs. Find more about same here.
