(Delphi DLL) Yahoo Mail OAuth2 Access Token for Desktop App
Demonstrates how to get a Yahoo Email OAuth2 access token from a desktop application or script.
This example requires a browser window to be displayed to allow the Yahoo account owner to authorize the access. The code for displaying the web browser is omitted. Suggestions for a few programming languages are provided in code comments. You'll need to add the code to display a web browser and navigate to the URL returned by the call to oauth2.StartAuth. For more information, see https://developer.yahoo.com/oauth2/guide/
