I highly recommend scribe. Very simple API and works great.

On a side note, be aware that Yahoo expires their auth token after 60 minutes so you need to refresh it periodically. Alas, Yahoo is the only oauth provider that I am aware of that expires their token and so scribe and signpost and other oauth APIs don't implement a "refresh token" mechanism. From my research, everyone that uses the APIs has implemented their own custom refresh method, myself included. I and others have approached the scribe author about integrating the refresh token feature but he has no interest.
