Hatena::Keyword - Extract Hatena Keywords in a string

Version 0.03

    use Hatena::Keyword;

    @keywords = Hatena::Keyword->extract("Perl and Ruby and Python.");
    print $_->score, "\t", $_ for @keywords;

    $keywords = Hatena::Keyword->extract("Hello, Perl!", {
        score => 20,
        cname => [qw(hatena web book)],
    });
    print $_->refcount, "\t", $_->jcode->euc for @$keywords;

    my $cache = Cache::File->new(
        cache_root      => '/path/to/cache',
        default_expires => '3600 sec',
    );
    $keywords = Hatena::Keyword->extract("Hello, Hatena!",  {
        cache => $cache,
    });

    $html = Hatena::Keyword->markup_as_html("Perl and Ruby");
    $html = Hatena::Keyword->markup_as_html("Hello, Perl!", {
        score    => 20,
        cname    => [qw(hatena web book)],
        a_class  => 'keyword',
        a_target => '_blank',
    });

This module allows you to extract Hatena keywords used in an arbitrary text and also allows you to mark up a text as HTML with the keywords.

A Hatena keyword is an element in a suite of web sites *.hatena.ne.jp having blogs and social bookmarks among others. Please refer to http://d.hatena.ne.jp/keyword/ (in Japanese) for details.

In Hatena Diary, a blog hosting service, a Hatena keyword found in a posting is linked to the keyword¡Çs page automatically. You can implement the same kind of feature outside Hatena using this module.

It queries Hatena Keyword Link API internally for retrieving terms.

Returns an array or an array reference which contains Hatena::Keyword objects extracted from specified text as first argument.

This method works correctly for Japanese characters but their encoding must be utf-8. And also returned words are encoded as utf-8 string.

Second argument is a option. Almost all key and values will be passed through to the XML-RPC API, excluding cache option.

Returns a tagged html string with Hatena Keywords like this:

  <a href="http://d.hatena.ne.jp/keyword/Perl">Perl</a> and <a
  href="http://d.hatena.ne.jp/keyword/Ruby">Ruby</a>

It takes two arguments, same as extract().

Returns a Hatena::Keyword object to a plain string, an alias for word(). Hatena::Keyword objects are also converted to plain strings automatically by overloading. This means that objects can be used as plain strings in most Perl constructs.

Returns a plain string of the word.

Returns a score of the word.

Returns a reference count of the word, which means used times of the term whole over the Hatena Diary.

Returns a category name of the word.

Returns a Jcode objet which contains the word.

Responses returned by Web API(XML-RPC) can be cached locally. extract method and markup_as_html accept a reference to a Cache object as cache option. This means that you can pick out one of Cache's companions like Cache::Memory, Cache::File, etc. In fact, any other type of cache implementation will do as well, see the requirements below.

    use Cache::File;
    my $cache = Cache::File->new(
        cache_root        => '/tmp/mycache',
        default_expires   => '30 min',
    );

    my $keywords = Hatena::Keyword->extract(
        "Perl and Ruby",
        { cache => $cache },
    );

Hatena::Keyword uses positive caching only, errors won't be cached. Erroneous requests will be sent to API server every time.

Caching isn't limited to the Cache class. Any cache object which adheres to the following interface can be used:

    # Set a cache value
    $cache->set($key, $value);

    # Return a cached value, 'undef' if it doesn't exist
    $cache->get($key);

Hideyo Imazu http://d.hatena.ne.jp/himazublog/ helped me writing the English documents.

Hideyo and kosaki http://mkosaki.blog46.fc2.com/ and tsupo http://watcher.moe-nifty.com/ helped my decision to change the name of the method.

Kazuhiro Osawa http://yappo.jp/ and Yuichi Tateno http://d.hatena.ne.jp/secondlife/ gave me an inspiration for caching implementation.
