<div class="intro">

<p>In this example, we make a simple YQL Query to retrieve data from the Yahoo! Weather YQL table.</p>

</div>

<div class="example">

{{>simple-yql-source}}

</div>

<p>The easiest way to build a YQL query is by visiting the <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/">YQL Console</a>. In this example we will be using the <code><a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/#h=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20location%3D90210">weather.forecast</a></code> table. The <code>YQL</code> statement that we are using looks like this:</p>

```

select * from weather.forecast where location=90210

```

<p>You can <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?q=SELECT%20*%20FROM%20weather.forecast%20WHERE%20location%3D90210" title="YQL Console">preview this query in the YQL Console</a> to get a sense of the data it returns.</p>

<h3>Setting Up the YUI Instance</h3>

<p>Now we need to create our YUI instance and tell it to load the <code>yql</code> and <code>node</code> modules.</p>

```

YUI().use('node', 'yql');

```

<h3>Making the Query</h3>

<p>We now have a YUI instance with the <code>yql</code> module (and its dependencies) attached, so we can proceed to make a query.</p>
