NAME

Net::BF2S - Get Battlefield 2 Player Stats

SYNOPSIS

use Net::BF2S;
my $bf2 = Net::BF2S->new;
my $data = $bf2->getStats(45355493,64573414,64318788,64246757,62797217,61091442,64964638,64661842,65431962,58968459);

DESCRIPTION

Fetches Battlefield 2 player stats from BF2S.

You must use the PID (player ID) when requesting stats. If you try to request the player stats by player name, the module will ignore it. You can get the PID from many sources, including the BF2S.com website.

You can only make THREE requests for data in a SIX hour period. This is a restriction from the feed provider, not of the module. Try to ask for as much information as possible in one request. The module (not yet) is written in a way that will try to include a list of "candidates" (a list of PIDs that you've asked for before, but you didn't ask for this time around) that will also be requested in that same request, which is meant to update your local player stat cache when possible.

I'll provide more documentation later.

SEE ALSO

Uses data feed from Jeff Minard's BF2S MyLeaderBoard API <http://jrm.cc/extras/mlb/readme.html<gt>.

TODO

Need to finish the "candidates" list functionality.
