Yahoo Finance API

Question

I want to implement the Yahoo Finance API into my web web-application but when I searched for the API, I didn't get the link to the API, rather I found the rss feeds that Yahoo provides for finance data.

So, my first question is whether Yahoo provides its Finance API? If yes, the what's the link to that API.

I have used several APIs of other vendors for different purposes easily. Is there any tricky part that I need to consider in the Yahoo Finance API.

If you want to give any advice for using Yahoo Finance API then feel free to give.
