NAME

WWW::Facebook::API::REST::Client::Base - Base class for Client

VERSION

This document describes WWW::Facebook::API::REST::Client::Base version 0.0.2

SYNOPSIS

use WWW::Facebook::API::REST::Client::Base;

DESCRIPTION

Base methods and data for WWW::Facebook::API::REST::Client and friends.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

call

The method which other submodules within WWW::Facebook::API::REST::Client use to call the Facebook REST interface. It takes in a hash signifying the method to be called (e.g., 'auth.getSession'), the parameters to pass through, and (optionally) the secret to use.

mech

The WWW::Mechanize agent used to communicate with the REST server. Shouldn't be needed for anything. The agent_alias is set to "Perl-WWW-Facebook-API-REST-Client/$VERSION".

server_uri

The server uri to access the Facebook REST server. See the Facebook API documentation.

secret

For a desktop application, this is the secret that is used for calling create_token and get_session. See the Facebook API documentation under Authentication. If no secret is passed in to the new method, it will prompt for one to be entered from STDIN

api_key

The developer's API key. See the Facebook API documentation. If no api_key is passed in to the new method, it will prompt for one to be entered from STDIN

session_secret

The session secret for the client's user. See the Facebook API documentation.

session_key

The session key for the client's user. See the Facebook API documentation.

desktop

A boolean signifying if the client is being used for a desktop application. See the Facebook API documentation.

errors

See WWW::Facebook::API::REST::Client::Errors. Basically, a grouping of the data that handles errors and debug information.

INTERNAL METHODS AND FUNCTIONS

_post_request

Used by call to post the request to the REST server and return the response.

_create_post_params_from

Creates string from the given hash ref by sorting the hash by key and concatenating the uri_escape'd key value pair to to the string.

_api_generate_sig

Generates and returns an md5_hex signature of the parameters for the method call.

DIAGNOSTICS

XML not returned from REST call

This means that there's most likely an error in the server you are using to communicate to the Facebook REST server. Double-check that server_uri is set to the right location.

See WWW::Facebook::API::REST::Client::Errors.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
