WebService::Nestoria::Search::MetadataResponse - Container object for the result of a metadata query to the Nestoria Search API.

VERSION

Top

version 1.020001

This package is used by WebService::Nestoria::Search and a WebService::Nestoria::Search::MetadataResponse object should never need to be explicitly created by the user.

Functions

Top

get_hashref

Returns a reference to a hash that contains exactly what the response from the Nestoria API gave, converted from JSON into a hashref with JSON::from_json()

get_metadata

Returns a reference to a hash that maps metadata names to the statistics associated with it.

get_average_price

Returns the average for properties which match the number of bedrooms, property type and listing type, for the given month.

    my %options = (
        # required
        listing_type => 'rent',
        range => 'monthly',             # 'monthly' ('quarterly' is deprecated, and has no data.)

        # optional depending on 'range'
        year => 2007,                   # 4 digit date
        month => 'January',             # eg. '1', 'Jan' or 'January'

        # optional
        num_beds => 3                   # integer
        per_sqm => 1,                   # price returned per square metre
    );
    my $average_price = $metadata->get_average_price(%options);

Rent prices are monthly. Prices for the UK are in GBP. Prices for Spain, Italy and Germany are in Euros. The earliest date available is October 2007.

If you leave out the year and month parameters it will take the most recent available.
