WWW::Plurk - Unoffical plurk.com API
This document describes WWW::Plurk version 0.02
use WWW::Plurk;
my $plurk = WWW::Plurk->new;
$plurk->login( 'username', 'password' );
my $msg = $plurk->add_plurk( content => 'Hello, World' );
This is an unofficial API for plurk.com. It uses the same interfaces that plurk itself uses internally which are not published and not necessarily stable. When Plurk publish a stable API this module will be updated to take advantage of it. In the mean time use with caution.
Ryan Lim did the heavy lifting of reverse engineering the API. His PHP implementation can be found at http://code.google.com/p/rlplurkapi/.
If you'd like to lend a hand supporting the bits of Plurk that this API doesn't yet reach please feel free to send me a patch. The Plurk API Wiki at http://plurkwiki.badchemicals.net/ is a good source of information.
All methods throw errors in the event of any kind of failure. There's no
need to check return values but you might want to wrap calls in an
eval block.
newCreate a new WWW::Plurk. Optionally accepts two arguments
(username, password). If they are supplied it will attempt to login to
Plurk. If no arguments are supplied login must be called before
attempting to access the service.
# Create and login
my $plurk = WWW::Plurk->new( 'user', 'pass' );
# Create then login afterwards
my $plurk = WWW::Plurk->new;
$plurk->login( 'user', 'pass' );
loginAttempt to login to a Plurk account. The two mandatory arguments are the username and password for the account to be accessed.
my $plurk = WWW::Plurk->new;
$plurk->login( 'user', 'pass' );
is_logged_inReturns a true value if we're currently logged in.
if ( $plurk->is_logged_in ) {
$plurk->add_plurk( content => 'w00t!' );
}
friends_forReturn a user's friends.
my @friends = $plurk->friends_for( $uid );
Pass the user id as either
my @friends = $plurk->friends_for( 12345 );
uid # $some_user isa WWW::Plurk::Friend
my @friends = $plurk->friends_for( $some_user );
Returns a list of WWW::Plurk::Friend objects.
friendsReturn the current user's friends. This
my @friends = $plurk->friends;
is equivalent to
my @friends = $plurk->friends_for( $self->uid );
add_plurkPost a new plurk.
$plurk->add_plurk(
content => 'Hello, World'
);
Arguments are supplied as a number of key, value pairs. The following arguments are recognised:
The only mandatory argument is content which should be a string of
140 characters or fewer.
qualifier is first word of the message - which has special
significance that you will understand if you have looked at the Plurk
web interface. The following qualifiers are supported:
asks feels gives has hates is likes loves says shares thinks wants was will wishes
If omitted qualifier defaults to ':' which signifies that you are
posting a free-form message with no qualifier.
lang is the human language for this Plurk. It defaults to 'en'.
Apologies to those posting in languages other than English.
no_comments should be true to lock the Plurk preventing comments from
being made.
limited_to is an array of user ids (or objects with a method called
uid). If present the Plurk will only be visible to those users. To
limit visibility of a Plurk to friends use:
my $msg = $plurk->add_plurk(
content => 'Hi chums',
limited_to => [ $plurk->friends ]
);
Returns a WWW::Plurk::Message representing the new Plurk.
plurksGet a list of recent Plurks for the logged in user. Returns an array of WWW::Plurk::Message objects.
my @plurks = $plurk->plurks;
Any arguments must be passed as key => value pairs. The following optional arguments are recognised:
As you may infer from the explanation of date_offset, I'm not
entirely sure how this interface works. I cargo-culted the options from
the PHP version. If anyone can explain date_offset please let me know
and I'll update the documentation.
unread_plurksReturn a list of unread Plurks for the current user.
responses_forGet the responses for a Plurk. Returns a list of WWW::Plurk::Message objects. Accepts a single argument which is the numeric ID of the Plurk whose responses we want.
my @responses = $plurk->responses_for( $msg->plurk_id );
respond_to_plurkPost a response to an existing Plurk. The first argument must be the ID of the Plurk to respond to. Additional arguments are supplied as a number of key => value pairs. The following arguments are recognised:
See add_plurk for details of how these arguments are interpreted.
my $responce = $plurk->respond_to_plurk(
$plurk_id,
content => 'Nice!'
);
Returns an WWW::Plurk::Message representing the newly posted response.
The following accessors are available:
info - the user info hashstate - the state of this object (init or login)trace - set true to enable HTTP query tracingdisplay_name - the user's display namefull_name - the user's full namegender - the user's genderhas_profile_image - has a profile image?id - appears to be a synonym for uidis_channel - unknown; anyone know?karma - user's karma scorelocation - user's locationnick_name - user's nick namepage_title - unknown; anyone know?relationship - married, single, etcstar_reward - ???uid - the user's IDWWW::Plurk requires no configuration files or environment variables.
None.
None reported.
No bugs have been reported.
