The Tortuga .NET component now has a Yxplore class that provides an easy-to-use API for the Yahoo! Site Explorer Web Services.

The Yahoo! Site Explorer web services allow one retrieve information about the pages that exist in the Yahoo! index. It also allows you to find inbound links for a given site or URL.

The Tortuga .NET component, which also includes classes for Blogger 1.0, Blogger 2.0, MetaWeblog, RSS, Atom, and Technorati, can be downloaded HERE.

These classes are free to use in both commercial and non-commercial applications and web sites. The Tortuga ActiveX will also include the Yxplore object, and this is to be released on 4-Oct-2005. The existing download contains objects for Blogger 1.0, Blogger 2.0, MetaWeblog, RSS, and Atom. (Technorati ActiveX is also due for release on 4-Oct-2005.)
