NAME

WWW::GoodData - Client library for GoodData REST-ful API

SYNOPSIS

  use WWW::GoodData;
  my $gdc = new WWW::GoodData;
  print $gdc->get_uri ('md', { title => 'My Project' });

DESCRIPTION

WWW::GoodData is the client for GoodData JSON-based API built atop WWW::GoodData::Agent client agent, with focus on usefullness and correctness of implementation.

It provides code for navigating the REST-ful API structure as well as wrapper funcitons for common actions.

METHODS

new [PARAMS]

Create a new client instance.

You can optionally pass a hash reference with properties that would be blessed, otherwise a new one is created. Possible properties include:

agent

retries

A number of retries to obtain results of asynchronous tasks, such as report exports or data uploads. See poll.

Defaults to 3600 (delay of one hour).

Traverse the links in resource hierarchy following given PATH, starting from API root ("gdc" by default).

PATH is an array of dictionaries, where each key-value pair matches properties of a link. If a plain string is specified, it is considered to be a match against category property:

  $gdc->links ('md', { 'category' => 'projects' });

The above call returns a list of all projects, with links to their metadata resources.

get_uri PATH

Follows the same samentics as links() call, but returns an URI of the first matching resource instead of complete link structure.
