=head1 NAME

MooseX::Net::API - Easily create client for net API

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  package My::Net::API;
  use Moose;
  use MooseX::Net::API;

  # we declare an API, the base_url is http://exemple.com/api
  # the format is json and it will be happened to the query
  # You can set base_url later, calling $obj->api_base_url('http://..')
  net_api_declare my_api => (
    base_url   => 'http://exemple.com/api',
    format     => 'json',
    format_api => 'append',
  );

  # calling $obj->foo will call http://exemple.com/api/foo?user=$user&group=$group
  net_api_method foo => (
    description => 'this get foo',
    method      => 'GET',
    path        => '/foo/',
    params      => [qw/user group/],
    required    => [qw/user/],
  );

  # you can create your own useragent
  net_api_declare my_api => (
    ...
    useragent => sub {
      my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
      $ua->agent('MyUberAgent/0.23'); 
      return $ua
    },
    ...
  );

  # if the API require authentification, the module will handle basic
  # authentication for you
  net_api_declare my_api => (
    ...
    authentication => 1,
    ...
  );

  # if the authentication is more complex, you can delegate to your own method

  1;

  my $obj = My::Net::API->new();
  $obj->api_base_url('http://...');
  $obj->foo(user => $user);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

MooseX::Net::API is module to help to easily create a client for a web API.
This module is heavily inspired by what L<Net::Twitter> does.

=head2 METHODS

=over 4

=item B<net_api_declare>

  net_api_declare backtype => (
    base_url    => 'http://api....',
    format      => 'json',
    format_mode => 'append',
  );

=over 2

=item B<base_url> (required)

The base url for all the API's calls. This will add an B<api_base_url>
attribut to your class.

=item B<format> (required, must be either xml, json or yaml)

The format for the API's calls. This will add an B<api_format> attribut to
your class.

=item B<format_mode> (required, must be 'append' or 'content-type')

How the format is handled. B<append> will add B<.json> to the query,
B<content-type> will add the content-type information to the header of the
request.

=item B<useragent> (optional, by default it's a LWP::UserAgent object)

  useragent => sub {
    my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
    $ua->agent( "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1");
     return $ua;
  },

=item B<authentication> (optional)

This is a boolean to tell if we must authenticate to use this API.

=item B<authentication_method> (optional)

The default authentication method only set an authorization header using the
Basic Authentication Scheme. You can write your own authentication method:

  net_api_declare foo => (
    ...
    authentication_method => 'my_auth_method',
    ...
  );

  sub my_auth_method {
    my ($self, $req) = @_; #$req is an HTTP::Request object
    ...
    return $req;
  }

=back

=item B<net_api_method>

=over 2

=item B<description> [string]

description of the method (this is a documentation)

=item B<method> [string]

HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)

=item B<path> [string]

path of the query.

If you defined your path and params like this

  net_api_method user_comments => (
    ...
    path => '/user/$user/list/$date/',
    params => [qw/user date foo bar/],
    ...
  );

and you call

  $obj->user_comments(user => 'franck', date => 'today', foo => 1, bar => 2);

the url generetad will look like

  /user/franck/list/today/?foo=1&bar=2

=item B<params> [arrayref]

list of params.

=item B<required> [arrayref]

list of required params.

=item B<authentication> (optional)

should we do an authenticated call

=item B<params_in_url> (optional)

When you do a post, the content may have to be sent as arguments in the url,
and not as content in the header.
