    $wl->get_individual_purchases( { slug => $slug } );

    $wl->get_sales_data( { slug => $slug } );

DESCRIPTION

INTERFACE

new($api_key, $slug)

Create a new WebService::Leanpub object.

Since you need an API key to access any function of the Leanpub API, you have to give that API key as an argument to new().

The same holds for the slug which is the part of the Leanpub URL denoting your book. For instance if your books URL was https::/leanpub.com/your_book, the slug woud be your_book.

get_individual_purchases()

get_individual_purchases( $opt )

Get the data for individual purchases.

Optionally this method takes as argument a hash reference with this key:

page

the page of the individual purchases data.

get_job_status()

Get the status of the last job.

get_sales_data()

Get the sales data.

preview()

Start a preview of your book.

publish( $opt )

This will publish your book without emailing your readers.

The argument $opt is a hash reference with the following keys:

email_readers

If the corresponding value evaluates to true, an email is sent to the readers.

release_notes

The value corresponding to this key is sent as release note.

DIAGNOSTICS

Missing API key for Leanpub

Since the Leanpub API only works with an API key from leanpub.com, you have to provide an API key as first argument to WebService::Leanpub->new().

Missing SLUG for book

Since every action in the Leanpub API involves a book which is identified by a slug, you have to provide the slug as the second argument to WebService::Leanpub->new().

A slug is the part after the hostname in the Leanpub URL of your book. So for instance for the Book "Using the Leanpub API with Perl" which has the URL https://leanpub.com/using-the-leanpub-api-with-perl the slug is using-the-leanpub-api-with-perl.
