NAME

WebService::HMRC::Response - Response object for the UK HMRC MTD API

VERSION

Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

use WebService::HMRC::HelloWorld;  # inherits this module
my $hmrc = WebService::HMRC::HelloWorld->new();

# Hello World endpoint requires no authorisation
# It returns a WebService::HMRC::Response object reference
my $hmrc_response = $hmrc->hello_world()

print "success\n" if $hmrc_response->is_success();

my $status_code  = $hmrc_response->http->code;
my $message      = $hmrc_response->data->{message};
my $content_type = $hmrc_response->header('content-type');

DESCRIPTION

This is part of the WebService::HMRC suite of Perl modules for interacting with the UK's HMRC Making Tax Digital APIs.

This class represents the response from an api call. It is inherited by other classes which implement bindings to HMRC APIs rather than being used directly.

INSTALLATION AND TESTING

See documentation for WebService::HMRC.

PROPERTIES

data

Reference to a perl hash representing an api call's json response.

This property is updated on object creation when the http property is set.

If an api call returns no valid json response, this property is populated with a dummy response, in the same format as the standard HRMC error response, with code 'INVALID_RESPONSE'. This facilitates consistent error parsing by the calling application.

http

The raw HTTP::Response object resulting from an api call. See documentation for HTTP::Response.

METHODS

is_success()

Shortcut to the HTTP::Response is_success method.

header($header_name)

Returns the value of the specified response header, or undef if it does not exist. Shortcut to the HTTP::Response header method.
