DESCRIPTION

beta beta beta. Interface is subject to change.

This is a very thin wrapper around the Reddit OAuth API.

CONSTRUCTOR AND STARTUP

new

  • access_token

    A (once) valid OAuth access token. It's ok if it has expired.

  • app_key

    The key which Reddit has assigned to your app.

  • app_secret

    The secret which Reddit has assigned to your app.

  • refresh_token

    A valid refresh_token which the Reddit API has provided.

  • ua

    Optional. A useragent of the LWP::UserAgent family.

  • base_uri

    Optional. Provide only if you want to route your requests somewhere other than the Reddit OAuth endpoint.

get

Accepts a relative URL path and an optional HashRef of params. Returns a WebService::Reddit::Response object.

my $me = $client->get('/api/v1/me');
my $new_posts = $client->get( '/r/perl/new', { limit => 25 } );

delete

Accepts a relative URL path and an optional HashRef of params. Returns a WebService::Reddit::Response object.

my $delete = $client->delete(
    '/api/v1/me/friends/randomusername',
    { id => 'someid' }
);

post

Accepts a relative URL path and an optional HashRef of params. Returns a WebService::Reddit::Response object.

my $post = $reddit->post(
    '/api/search_reddit_names',
    { exact => 1, query => 'perl' }
);

access_token

Returns the current access_token. This may not be the token which you originally supplied. If your supplied token has been expired, then this module will try to get you a fresh access_token.

access_token_expiration

Returns expiration time of access token in epoch seconds, if available. Check the predicate before calling this method in order to avoid a possible exception.

print $client->access_token_expiration
    if $client->has_access_token_expiration .

has_access_token_expiration

Predicate. Returns true if access_token_expiration has been set.

refresh_access_token

Tries to refresh the access_token. Returns true on success and dies on failure. Use the access_token method to get the new token if this method has returned true.

ua

Returns the UserAgent which is being used to make requests. Defaults to a WWW::Mechanize object.
