NAME

CPAN::Testers::WWW::Reports::Query::Report - Retrieve CPAN Testers report direct from the CPAN Testers website.

DESCRIPTION

This module queries the CPAN Testers website and retrieves a specific report.

SYNOPSIS

    # default options
    my %options = (
        as_json => 0,                       # the default
        as_hash => 0,                       # the default
        host    => 'http://cpantesters.org' # the default
    );

    # establish the object
    my $query = CPAN::Testers::WWW::Reports::Query::Report->new( %options );

The default is to return a Metabase::Fact, as a CPAN::Testers::Report object. If you wish to manipulate this differently, use the as_json or as_hash to return more simplified forms.

    # get by id
    my $result = $query->report( report => 40000000 );

    # get by GUID
    $result = $query->report( report => '0b3fd09a-7e50-11e3-9609-5744ee331862' );

    # force return as JSON
    my $result = $query->report( report => 40000000, as_json => 1 );

    # force return as a hash
    my $result = $query->report( report => 40000000, as_hash => 1 );

The as_json and as_hash options here will override the general options supplied in the object constructor. If you've specified as_json or as_hash in the object constructor, to override simply set 'as_json => 0' and/or 'as_hash => 0' in the method call.

    # get the last error
    my $error = $query->error;

If the result is returned as undef, either no report was found or the JSON return is malformed. This could be due to network connection, or corrupt data in the report. If the latter please notify the CPAN Testers discussion list, so we can investigate and correct as appropriate.
