DESCRIPTION

This module allows developers to quickly consume and interface with the Digg API as defined at http://apidoc.digg.com

EXAMPLES

my $digg = Net::Digg->new();
# Print the user that submitted the latest upcoming story.
my $result = $digg->get_upcoming_stories();
my %params = ('count' => 20);
my $stories = $result->{'stories'};
foreach $story (@$stories) {
}

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Net::Digg uses LWP internally. Any environment variables that LWP supports should be supported by Net::Digg.

DEPENDENCIES

LWP::UserAgent
JSON::Any

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

I decided to use JSON::Any to parse and convert the JSON returned from the Digg API. The main reason for this is that other similar modules seemed to be using this strategy. I should check to see if there is easier or more desirable way to handle the returned data.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-net-digg@rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org.
