Does Yahoo return the name of the account owner through your API?

Does Yahoo return the name of the account owner through your API?

Yes it does. It requires that the user grant access to read the user’s Yahoo Mail during the OAuth flow.

In general, we return the contacts_owner whenever possible, but in some cases this is not possible, e.g. from a CSV upload or if your Yahoo credentials don’t include the Yahoo Mail scope.
