We have all heard of and know what SQL is, but YQL is something new to us. YQL stands for Yahoo Query Language.
YQL is a SQL like language developed to query web service APIs or data from web pages. Many of the websites make available their structured data through web services.
To query this data available through web services, developers need to understand the web service URLs and go through documentation which could be specific to a particular website.
This language was initially launched in 2008 to access Yahoo APIs. However, gradually a number of other open data tables were added by other parties.
