USAGE

METHODS

get

Returns a response object Geo::WebService::OpenCellID::Response::cell::get.

            

              
              
my $response=$gwo->cell->get(key=>$myapikey,
                             mnc=>1,
                             mcc=>2,
                             lac=>200,
                             cellid=>234);
            
          

Documentation from: http://www.opencellid.org/api

Get the position of a specific cell http://www.opencellid.org/cell/get?key=myapikey&mnc=1&mcc=2&lac=200&cellid=234

            

              
              
Where:
  key: The apikey
  mcc: mobile country code (decimal)
  mnc: mobile network code (decimal)
  lac: locale area code (decimal)
  cellid: value of the cell id
            
          

lac can be ommitted. However, if cellid is not present or if cellid i unkown, a defaut return will be based on lac information, but with a much lower accuracy. In that case, cellid return will be -1.

The postion is returned in xml format by the web service but this package wraps this return in a blessed object.

Example: http://www.opencellid.org/cell/get?mcc=250&mnc=99&cellid=29513&lac=0

            

              
              
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
<rsp stat="ok">
  <cell nbSamples="38"
        lat="57.8240013122559"
        lon="28.00119972229"
        range="6000"
        mcc="250"
        mnc="99"
        lac="0"
        cellId="29513" /> 
</rsp>
            
          

Note: nbSamples=0 is very common!

getMeasures

Returns a response object Geo::WebService::OpenCellID::Response::cell::getMeasures

            

              
              
my $response=$gwo->cell->getMeasures(key=>$myapikey,
                                     mnc=>1,
                                     mcc=>2,
                                     lac=>200,
                                     cellid=>234);
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
<rsp stat="ok">
  <cell nbSamples="1"
        lat="38.865953"
        lon="-77.108595"
        mnc="784"
        mcc="608"
        lac="46156"
        cellId="40072">
    <measure lat="38.865953"
             lon="-77.108595"
             takenOn="Sat Feb 28 06:07:12 +0100 2009"
             takenBy="582" /> 
  </cell>
</rsp>
