NAME

WebService::Linode::Base - Perl Interface to the Linode.com API.

VERSION

Version 0.06

SYNOPSIS

This module provides a simple OOish interface to the Linode.com API.

Example usage:

use WebService::Linode::Base;

my $api = WebService::Linode::Base->new(apikey => 'mmmcake');
my $data = $api->do_request( api_action => 'domains.list' );

METHODS

new

All methods take the same parameters as the Linode API itself does. Field names should be lower cased. All caps fields from the Linode API will be lower cased before returning the data.

Accepts a hash as an argument. apikey is the only required parameter specifying your Linode API key.

Errors mirror the perl DBI error handling method. $WebService::Linode::Base::err and ::errstr will be populated with the last error number and string that occurred. All errors generated within the module are currently error code -1. By default, will warn on errors as well, pass a true value for fatal to die instead, or nowarn to prevent the warnings.

verbose is 0-10 with 10 being the most and 0 being none

send_request

Sends a request to the API, takes a hash of name=>value pairs. Returns an HTTP::Response object.

parse_response

Takes an HTTP::Response object and parses the API response returning just the DATA section.

do_request

Executes the send_request method, parses the response with the parse_response method and returns the data.

apikey

Takes one optional argument, an apikey that if passed replaces the key currently in use. Returns the current (or new) apikey.

Returns the apikey
