NAME
Business::Monzo - Perl library for interacting with the Monzo API (https://api.monzo.com)
VERSION
0.13
DESCRIPTION
Business::Monzo is a library for easy interface to the Monzo banking API, it implements all of the functionality currently found in the service's API documentation: https://monzo.com/docs
You should refer to the official Monzo API documentation in conjunction with this perldoc, as the official API documentation explains in more depth some of the functionality including required / optional parameters for certain methods.
Please note this library is very much a work in progress, as is the Monzo API. Also note the Monzo were previously called Mondo, so if you see any references to Mondo they are either typos or historical references that have not yet been updated to reflect the changes.
All objects within the Business::Monzo namespace are immutable. Calls to methods will, for the most part, return new instances of objects.
SYNOPSIS
my $monzo = Business::Monzo->new(
token => $token, # REQUIRED
api_url => $url, # optional
);
# transaction related information
my @transactions = $monzo->transactions( account_id => $account_id );
my $Transaction = $monzo->transaction( id => 1 );
$Transaction->annotate(
foo => 'bar',
baz => 'boz,
);
my $annotations = $Transaction->annotations;
# account related information
my @accounts = $monzo->accounts;
foreach my $Account ( @accounts ) {
my @transactions = $Account->transactions;
$Account->add_feed_item(
params => {
title => 'My Feed Item',
image_url => 'http://...',
}
);
# balance information
my $Balance = $Account->balance;
# webhooks
my @webhooks = $Account->webhooks;
my $Webhook = $Account->register_webhook(
callback_url => 'http://www.foo.com',
);
$Webhook->delete
}
# pots
my @pots = $monzo->pots();
# attachments
my $Attachment = $monzo->upload_attachment(
file_name => 'foo.png',
file_type => 'image/png',
);
$Attachment->register(
external_id => 'my_id'
);
$Attachment->deregister;
ERROR HANDLING
Any problems or errors will result in a Business::Monzo::Exception object being thrown, so you should wrap any calls to the library in the appropriate error catching code (ideally a module from CPAN):
try {
...
}
catch ( Business::Monzo::Exception $e ) {
# error specific to Business::Monzo
...
say $e->message; # error message
say $e->code; # HTTP status code
say $e->response; # HTTP status message
# ->request may not always be present
say $e->request->{path} if $e->request;
say $e->request->{params} if $e->request;
say $e->request->{headers} if $e->request;
say $e->request->{content} if $e->request;
}
catch ( $e ) {
# some other failure?
...
}
You can view some useful debugging information by setting the MONZO_DEBUG env varible, this will show the calls to the Monzo endpoints as well as a stack trace in the event of exceptions:
$ENV{MONZO_DEBUG} = 1;
ATTRIBUTES
token
Your Monzo access token, this is required
api_url
The Monzo url, which will default to https://api.monzo.com
client
A Business::Monzo::Client object, this will be constructed for you so you shouldn't need to pass this
METHODS
In the following %query_params refers to the possible query params as shown in the Monzo API documentation. For example: limit=100.
# transactions in the previous month
my @transactions = $monzo->transactions(
since => DateTime->now->subtract( months => 1 ),
);
transactions
$monzo->transactions( %query_params );
Get a list of transactions. Will return a list of Business::Monzo::Transaction objects. Note you must supply an account_id in the params hash;
balance
my $Balance = $monzo->balance( account_id => $account_id );
Get an account balance Returns a Business::Monzo::Balance object.
transaction
my $Transaction = $monzo->transaction(
id => $id,
expand => 'merchant'
);
Get a transaction. Will return a Business::Monzo::Transaction object
accounts
$monzo->accounts; # all accounts
$monzo->accounts( account_type => "uk_prepaid" ); # prepaid accounts
$monzo->accounts( account_type => "uk_retail" ); # current accounts
Get a list of accounts. Will return a list of Business::Monzo::Account objects
pots
$monzo->pots;
Get a list of pots. Will return a list of Business::Monzo::Pot objects
PAGINATION
As per the Monzo docs: https://monzo.com/docs/#pagination - you can pass through arguments to the methods (e.g. transactions
) to limit the return data or set date ranges, etc:
# last three months transactions, but only show 5
my $since = DateTime->now->subtract( months => 3 )->iso8601 . "Z";
my $limit = 5;
foreach my $transaction (
$monzo->transactions(
account_id => $account_id,
limit => $limit,
since => $since,
)
{
...
}
The supported pagination keys are limit
, since
, and before
- where since
can be an RFC 3339-encoded timestamp or an object id, and before
can be an RFC 3339-encoded timestamp. limit
should always be an integer.
EXAMPLES
See the t/002_end_to_end.t test included with this distribution. you can run this test against the Monzo emulator by running end_to_end_emulated.sh (this is advised, don't run it against a live endpoint).
You can also see the scripts in the bin/ directory included in this dist for more examples.
