Yaklient is an intuitive Python library for interacting with Yik Yak's API. Note: POSTING WILL NOT WORK ANYMORE
# Import client classes from Yaklient
from yaklient import *
# Specify location of University of Exeter on a map
exeter = Location(50.7365, -3.5344)
# Create user object at University of Exeter with given userid
user = User(exeter, "21C6CA60E3AA43C4B8C18B943394E111")
# Get yaks, iterate through them, and print them
for yak in user.get_yaks():
print yak
View doc/index.html to see the class structure and how to use each class. Email me if you have any questions. I have provided 25 working userids in the USERIDS file. You need to discover the Parse APPID and CLIENTKEY to create posting users. Let me know if the user_ids become banned and I'll verify this and create a fresh batch! If you make a working app with Yaklient and need the Yik Yak Parse API key to create more users, let me know and I will give it to you (I have not included it in the library so that people do not spam Yik Yak). See the issues for a list of things that don't work in this library.
- Do analytics on Yaks posted at any location in the world!
- Change your basecamp!
- Post/read Yaks anywhere in the world!
- Port this library to another programming language and make a Yik Yak clone!
- Create a bunch of users (a Yakarmy) and take over Yik Yak (upvote your own Yaks to the top, downvote others' Yaks to oblivion, etc.)
- Spam Yik Yak
