MooseX::Net::API - Easily create client for net API
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package My::Net::API;
use MooseX::Net::API;
# we declare an API, the base_url is http://exemple.com/api
# the format is json and it will be append to the query
# You can set api_base_url later, calling $obj->api_base_url('http://..')
net_api_declare my_api => (
api_base_url => 'http://exemple.com/api',
api_format => 'json',
api_format_mode => 'append',
);
# declaring a users method
# calling $obj->users will call http://exemple.com/api/users?country=france
net_api_method users => (
description => 'this get a list of users',
method => 'GET',
path => '/users/',
params => [qw/country/],
);
# you can create your own useragent (it must be a LWP::UserAgent object)
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

my $obj = My::Net::API->new();
$obj->api_base_url('http://...');
$obj->foo(user => $user);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
MooseX::Net::API is a module to help to easily create a client for a web API.
This module is heavily inspired by what L<Net::Twitter> does.
B<THIS MODULE IS IN ITS BETA QUALITY. THE API MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE>
=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<api_base_url>
The base url for all the API's calls. This will add an B<api_base_url> attribut to your class. Can be set at the object creation or before calling an API method. If no api_base_url is defined, the method will die.
=item B<api_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<api_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.
