Business::Fixflo - Perl library for interacting with the Fixflo API (https://www.fixflo.com)
0.08
Business::Fixflo is a library for easy interface to the fixflo property repair service, it implements all of the functionality currently found in the service's API documentation: http://www.fixflo.com/Tech/WebAPI
You should refer to the official fixflo 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 a work in progress
# agency API: my $ff = Business::Fixflo->new( custom_domain => $domain, api_key => $api_key, # if api_key is not supplied: username => $username, password => $password, ); my $issues = $ff->issues, my $agencies = $ff->agencies, while ( my @issues = $issues->next ) { foreach my $issue ( @issues ) { $issue->get; ... } } my $issue = $ff->issue( $id ); my $json = $issue->to_json; # third party API: my $ff = Business::Fixflo->new( api_key => $third_party_api_key, username => $third_party_username, password => $third_party_password, ); my $agency = Business::Fixflo::Agency->new( client => $ff->client, AgencyName => 'foo', ); $agency->create; $agency->delete;
Any problems or errors will result in a Business::Fixflo::Exception object being thrown, so you should wrap any calls to the library in the appropriate error catching code (TryCatch in the below example):
use TryCatch; try { ... } catch ( Business::Fixflo::Exception $e ) { # error specific to Business::Fixflo ... say $e->message; # error message say $e->code; # HTTP status code say $e->response; # HTTP status message } catch ( $e ) { # some other failure? ... }
You can view some useful debugging information by setting the FIXFLO_DEBUG env varible, this will show the calls to the Fixflo endpoints as well as a stack trace in the event of exceptions:
$ENV{FIXFLO_DEBUG} = 1;
Your Fixflo username (required if api_key not supplied)
Your Fixflo password (required if api_key not supplied)
Your Fixflo API Key (required if username and password not supplied)
Your Fixflo custom domain, defaults to "api" (which will in fact call the third party Fixflo API)
The url suffix to use after the custom domain, defaults to fixflo.com
A Business::Fixflo::Client object, this will be constructed for you so you shouldn't need to pass this
issues agencies properties property_addresses issue agency property property_address quick_view_panels
Get a [list of] issue(s) / agenc(y|ies) / propert(y|ies) / property address(es):
my $paginator = $ff->issues( %query_params ); my $issue = $ff->issue( $id );
Will return a Business::Fixflo::Paginator object (when calling endpoints that return lists of items) or a Business::Fixflo:: object for the Issue, Agency, etc.
%query_params refers to the possible query params as shown in the currency Fixflo API documentation. For example: page=[n]. You can pass DateTime objects through and these will be correctly changed into strings when calling the API:
# issues raised in the previous month my $paginator = $ff->issues( CreatedSince => DateTime->now->subtract( months => 1 ), ); # properties in given postal code my $paginator = $ff->properties( Keywords => 'NW1', );
Refer to the Business::Fixflo::Paginator documentation for what to do with the returned paginator object.
Note the property method can take a flag to indicate that the passed $id is an external reference:
my $Property = $ff->property( 'P123',1 );
See the t/002_end_to_end.t test included with this distribution. you can run this test against the fixflo test server (requires ENV variables to set the Fixflo credentials)
