Project Hack Yak - The leaders in shutting down Yik Yak.

Yik Yak Protocol Documentation v1.0
As of right now, the base URL is:
https://yikyakapp.com/YikYakFiles/
Another thing these stupid people added was a user-agent check.
There needs to be an iOS or Android useragent in order to use the API.
Here's one provided in issue #1:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.0.4; Galaxy Nexus Build/IMM76B) AppleWebKit/535.19
(KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.133 Mobile Safari/535.19
All urls listed are relative to that base URL.
Parameters:
key/key alias - information
latitude/lat - Latitude on Google Maps
longitude/long - Longitude on Google Maps
message - The message to be posted to Yik Yak.
comment - The comment to be posted to Yik Yak.
distance - How far should this message go out to? Default is 2. (max 5?) NOTE:
This is a in-app store paid addon that is now available to you for free.
handle - An nickname usable on Yik Yak's handle system. Requires users to redee
m your code to use it.
code - The code used to unlock the handle system.
userID - Unique identifier that uniquely identifies each user. This should be c
onsidered private!
messageID - Unique number that specifically identifies the specific message post
ed.
posterID - User ID of the poster who posted the message (potential leak here?).

hidePin - Unknown. Set this to 0 or your message will fail to post. (Possible th
eory: Removed messages by Yik Yak's service and/or most disliked?)
Types:
%type - information
%i - Number
%f - Float (without the F at the end!)
%s - String
%uqid - A formatted string that appears to be a unique identifier. Usually fille
d with numbers and uppercase letters. Format: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-0000000000
00
