Yak Hax an unofficial vwrapper for the Yik Yak API in Java.
Yak Hax has no Maven repository. In order to download the library you can clone or download the repository go under releases/release.jar and include that in your build path. Other wise just view the raw file of release.jar in your browser to download it directly.
Here is a list of features from Yak Hax. Several features are not implemeneted and if propery reverse engineered can be implemented through getRequest and postRequest

| Upvote Comment | GET | upvoteComment |
| Downvote Comment | GET | downvoteComment |

Must be called first before any requests are made
YikYakAPI.login(userID, token, userAgent)YikYakAPI.getYaks(SortedMapParameters)Because Yik YaK's protocol does not change much across updates changing the Yik Yak version is often enough to make the cut
YikYakAPI.setYikYakVersion(version)Returns an array with 4 values in this specific order
- userid
- token
- deviceID
- user agent
YikYakAPI.registerNewUser()If you have enough data on the GET and POST requests of the Yik Yak API not implemented already you can call these two methods
YikYakAPI.getRequest(parameters)
YikYakAPI.postRequest(parameters)There are a lot of parameters that Yik Yak uses when making their requests. Here are a few, they will be needed to make a Map of all the parameters. If it is a GET request the parameters are all in the query stirng. If it is a POST request some parameters are in the query string, while many are in the form data. Check the documentation to see which methods need what parameters.
- bc - needed, baescamp true/false, retrieved from YikYakProfile.java
- bypassedThreatPopup - needed 0 or 1
- userID - needed, get it from YikYakProfile.java
- deviceID - used when registering a new user, not really needed
- token - needed, get it from YikYakProfile.java
- version - needed get it from YikYakAPI.getYikYakVersion()
- lat - latitude, needed in parameters
- long - longitude, needed in parameters
- userLat - latitude, same as lat, needed
- userLong - longitude, same as long, needed
- accuracy - accuracy of the request, can be faked, needed
- altitude - altitude of the request, can be faked, needed
