DESCRIPTION

This is a front-end module specifically for Lingr archives API.

Lingr (http://lingr.com) is a group chat Web service. WebService::Lingr::Archives uses its Web API to fetch archived message data from a chat room.

CLASS METHODS

$lingr = WebService::Lingr::Archives->new(%args)

The constructor.

Fields in %args are:

user => STR (mandatory)

Username for your Lingr account.

password => STR (mandatory)

Password for your Lingr account.

app_key => STR (optional)

Lingr App key. Although it's not required, you can register your app in http://lingr.com/developer.

api_base => STR (optional, default: "http://lingr.com/api")

API base URL.

user_agent => OBJECT (optional, default: LWP::UserAgent with env_proxy() called)

HTTP UserAgent object to access the API.

OBJECT METHODS

@messages = $lingr->get_archives($room_id[, $options])

Get archived messages from the chat room specified by $room_id.

Optional parameter $options is a hash-ref. Its fields are:

before => MESSAGE ID (optional, default: 99999999)

get_archives() returns messages whose ID is less than this number. By default, before parameter is set to a very big number, meaning get_archives() returns the latest messages.

limit => INT (optional)

Number of messages get_messages() tries to return.

In success, this method returns a list of hash-refs. Each hash-ref represents a message created in the chat room.

In failure, this method dies.
