Is there a way to programmatically log into Yahoo!, providing email id and password as inputs, and fetch the user's contacts?

I've achieved the same thing with Gmail, thanks to the its ClientLogin interface.

Yahoo Address book API provides BBAuth, which requires the user to be redirected to Yahoo login page. But I'm looking for a way to authenticate the user with Yahoo without the redirection. The way Ning.com handles it.

Code samples in Python will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

You may want to look into the Contacts API provided by Yahoo!

I just found a python script that solves my problem

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ContactGrabber/0.1

It's not complete though, fetches only a portion of the address book.
