Input
Parameter defines the search query. You can use anything that you would use in a regular Yahoo! search.
Parameter defines the Yahoo! domain to use. It defaults to `search.yahoo.com`. If specified domain is allowed, it will be prepended to the domain (e.g., `fr.search.yahoo.com`). You can check a full list of supported Yahoo! domains.
Parameter defines the country to use for the Yahoo! search. It's a two-letter country code. (e.g., `us` for the United States, `uk` for United Kingdom, or `fr` for France) Head to the Yahoo! countries for a full list of supported Yahoo! countries.
Parameter defines language to limit the search to. It uses `lang_{two-letter language code}` to specify languages. (e.g., `vl=lang_fr` will only search French). `fl` will be set to `1` if this parameter is used. You can check a full list of supported Yahoo! languages.
Parameter defines the result offset. It skips the given number of results. It's used for pagination. (e.g., `1` (default) is the first page of results, `11` is the 2nd page of results, `21` is the 3rd page of results, etc.).
Parameter defines the level of filtering for adult content. Strict: `r`, Moderate: `i`, Off: `p`
Filter results by top-level domains separated by ','. (e.g., `.com,.org`)

Parameter is responsible for rendering positions and expansions for some elements (e.g., `p:s,v:w,m:trendingdomain_center` to expand Related Trending Searches).
Parameter specifies the destination for related topics. By including a unique identifier for the destination page, this parameter directs users to specific content related to their search query, providing them with more targeted results. (e.g. `{"dn":"topic","ykid":"71698d3e-6ef0-4fcd-8551-1ffe56058857","pos":"0","oq":"Coffee","rq":"Drinking"}`)
Parameter defines the device to use to get the results. It can be set to `desktop` (default) to use a regular browser, `tablet` to use a tablet browser (currently using iPads), or `mobile` to use a mobile browser.
Parameter defines the fields you want to include in the output, reducing payload size for faster response. See the JSON Restrictor documentation for more details.
