We recently used the URL:
search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/updateNotification?appid=YahooDemo&url=....

To ping Yahoo about sitemap changes. This URL turned out to time out and is not reachable.

Then I googled and on the Yahoo site I found a different URL which also times out:
search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/ping?sitemap=....

What is the correct address to ping Yahoo about sitemap changes?

Here is Yahoo's documentation for their sitemap ping. At the top there is a prominent notification that Yahoo webmaster tools have moved to Bing webmaster tools.



That is why the ping times out. It is no longer supported and you should use Bing webmaster tools instead.

Here are the instructions for submitting sitemaps to Bing. It includes the ping URL:
www.bing.com/ping?sitemap=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com/sitemap.xml
