DESCRIPTION

REST::Google::Feeds provides OO interface to Google REST (aka AJAX) API for feeds.

METHODS

__PACKAGE__->http_referer()

Get/set HTTP Referer header.

Note: Google says that you should supply a valid HTTP referer header each time you perform a request to their AJAX API, so new() raises warning unless referer is specified.

__PACKAGE__->new()

q argument should contain URL to a valid RSS or Atom feed. Please refer to 'Google Feeds AJAX API' documentation for complete list of arguments for Google Feeds service. E.g.:

my $res = REST::Google::Feeds->new(
	q => 'http://digg.com/rss/index.xml',
);

The code above will perform a following HTTP GET request:

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/feed/load?q=http%3A%2F%2Fdigg.com%2Frss%2Findex.xml&v=1.0

Note: You can left protocol version number unspecified while making your searches since v=1.0 is passed by default.

See REST::Google new method.

my $res = REST::Google::Feeds->new(
