Net::LastFM - A simple interface to the Last.fm API
my $lastfm = Net::LastFM->new( api_key => 'XXX', api_secret => 'YYY', ); my $data = $lastfm->request_signed( method => 'user.getRecentTracks', user => 'lglb', );
The module provides a simple interface to the Last.fm API. To use this module, you must first sign up at http://www.last.fm/api to receive an API key and secret.
You can then make requests on the API - most of the requests are signed. You pass in a hash of paramters and a data structure mirroring the response is returned.
This module confesses if there is an error.
This makes an unsigned request:
my $data = $lastfm->request( method => 'auth.gettoken' );
This makes a signed request:
my $data = $lastfm->request_signed( method => 'user.getRecentTracks', user => 'lglb', );
If you want to integrate this module into another HTTP framework, this method will simple create an unsigned HTTP::Request object:
my $http_request = $lastfm->create_http_request( method => 'auth.gettoken' );
If you want to integrate this module into another HTTP framework, this method will simple create a signed HTTP::Request object:
my $http_request = $lastfm->create_http_request_signed( method => 'user.getRecentTracks', user => 'lglb', );
