Yahoo address book retrieval

I am trying to retrieve address book contacts through yahoo. After googling a bit, I came up to number of Yahoo developer pages and the api I was looking for.

However, at the moment I am not in position to give detail about my Web Application URL and BBAuth Success URL while registering for Yahoo app-id in order to yahoo app working. Since my application decision are still not yet decided. I am trying to make a POC (Proof of concept) for retrieving yahoo/hotmail contacts.

Is there any way that I can get address book details without app-id .. OR .. can I register for app-id without the Web Application URL and BBAuth Success URL .. OR .. what alternate I could use for a local POC development ? Any suggestions?

Go ahead and register an account with temporary URLs. When you finalize your URLs you can get another key with the real ones, or edit your existing information.

You might also want to check out YQL

http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?q=select%20fields.value%20from%20social.contacts%20where%20guid%3Dme

It doesn't need an API key.
