DESCRIPTION

This module is intended to provide an interface between Perl and the Media Temple API. The Media Temple API is a RESTful web service. In order to use this module you must provide an api key which requires a valid account. For more information please see http://wiki.mediatemple.net/w/Category:API

CONSTRUCTOR

new()

Creates and returns a new WWW::MediaTemple object

my $api= WWW::MediaTemple->new()
  • api_key => [your_api_key]

    The api_key parameter is required. You must provide a valid key.

  • pretty_print => [true|false}

    This parameter allows you to enable the pretty print function of the API. By default this parameter is set to true

  • wrap_root => [true|false]

    This parameter defaults to 'true'. It wraps the json object with the root object name. Specifying 'false' will not wrap the object.

  • format => [json|xml]

    The data format you intend PUT, POST and GET. Currently defaults to JSON

  • raw_data => [true|false]

    Return raw data in xml and or json format opposed to an object
