Thought I’d check just how old my account is
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from yahoo_oauth import OAuth1
oauth = OAuth1(None, None, from_file='yahoo_credentials.json')
from myql import MYQL
yql = MYQL(format='xml', oauth=oauth)
response = yql.raw_query('select * from social.profile where guid=me') import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
r = ET.fromstring(response.content)
for a in r.iter('memberSince'):
print(a.tag, a.text)
memberSince 1998-08-24T17:51:40Z
Yahoo launched in 1998, I was probably user #3 or so
