DESCRIPTION

Strike API is a service for getting information about a torrent given its info hash. WebService::Strike is a wrapper for this service.

strike(@info_hashes)

Returns a list of WebService::Strike::Torrent objects in list context or the first such object in scalar context. Dies in case of error.

strike_query

Alias for strike. Not exported by default.

strike_search($phrase, [$full, [ key => value ... ]])

Searches for torrents given a phrase. Returns a list of WebService::Strike::Torrent objects in list context or the first such object in scalar context.

If $full is false (default), the returned objects will be incomplete: their file_names and file_lengths accessors will return undef.

If $full is true, strike will be called with the info hashes of the found torrents, thus obtaining complete objects.

You can filter the search by appending key => value pairs to the call. For example:

strike_search 'windows', 0, category => 'Applications', sub_category => 'Windows';

strike_imdb($imdb_id)

Get informaton about a movie from IMDB. Takes an IMDB ID and returns a hashref of unspecified format. All keys are lowercased.
