There should be at least two cookies, one called T and the other Y, on yahoo.com, the content of these looks like a long query string, "z=something&a=something&etc". Use T in -ct and Y in -cy, like -ct "z=something&etc" -cy "v=something&etc"

Sorry this is so tricky.

-u and -p don't seem to be needed anymore? The script complained so I dropped them. Also, I used the "F" cookie for -ce.

So: ./yahoo.py -ct "T cookie"-cy "Y cookie" -ce "F cookie" "group name"

Ah, I see. It wasn't under login.yahoo.com then; the cookies I was looking for were under "yahoo.com locally stored data." This worked. Thank you.

e: actually, no dice. Got it to work on one group and then never again. A couple of the groups I've tried can retrieve messages, but never files or attachments. It always gives an exception when it gets to the files.

I'm offering a service that will extract all the yahoo group data from both private/public yahoo groups data for a fee.

My service: Includes - Public groups backup - Private groups extraction (will require admin credentials for the account) - Extraction formats include excel, csv and html

Not Included in the backup - Importing to new platform - Data Translation/Data cleaning - Additional post backup requests

Total cost: - Full backup $500

Payment details: - $250 for the first installment. - $250 after the last sample excel file is sent

After the first payment I will start work. Once I have completed the data backup, I will send a excel file with 10% of the final backup file as verification of my work. I will send the file once the final $250 payment is complete.

If your interested, please contact me at [e-mail]
