NAME

CPAN::Testers::WWW::Reports::Query::Report - Retrieve CPAN Testers report direct from the CPAN Testers website.

DESCRIPTION

This module queries the CPAN Testers website and retrieves a specific report.

SYNOPSIS

# default options
my %options = (
    as_json => 0,                       # the default
    as_hash => 0,                       # the default
    host    => 'http://cpantesters.org' # the default
);

# establish the object
my $query = CPAN::Testers::WWW::Reports::Query::Report->new( %options );

The default is to return a Metabase::Fact, as a CPAN::Testers::Report object. If you wish to manipulate this differently, use the as_json or as_hash to return more simplified forms.

# get by id
my $result = $query->report( report => 40000000 );

# get by GUID
$result = $query->report( report => '0b3fd09a-7e50-11e3-9609-5744ee331862' );

# force return as JSON
my $result = $query->report( report => 40000000, as_json => 1 );

# force return as a hash
my $result = $query->report( report => 40000000, as_hash => 1 );

The as_json and as_hash options here will override the general options supplied in the object constructor. If you've specified as_json or as_hash in the object constructor, to override simply set 'as_json => 0' and/or 'as_hash => 0' in the method call.

# get the last error
my $error = $query->error;

If the result is returned as undef, either no report was found or the JSON return is malformed. This could be due to network connection, or corrupt data in the report. If the latter please notify the CPAN Testers discussion list, so we can investigate and correct as appropriate.

CPAN TESTERS FUND

CPAN Testers wouldn't exist without the help and support of the Perl community. However, since 2008 CPAN Testers has grown far beyond the expectations of it's original creators. As a consequence it now requires considerable funding to help support the infrastructure.

In early 2012 the Enlightened Perl Organisation very kindly set-up a CPAN Testers Fund within their donatation structure, to help the project cover the costs of servers and services.

If you would like to donate to the CPAN Testers Fund, please follow the link below to the Enlightened Perl Organisation's donation site.

If your company would like to support us, you can donate financially via the fund link above, or if you have servers or services that we might use, please send an email to admin@cpantesters.org with details.

Our full list of current sponsors can be found at our I <3 CPAN Testers site.
