Internal Subroutines

The following are not meant to be used directly, but are available if 'finer' control is required.

_do_request()

Wraps the call to _make_request and handles error checks.

INPUT Takes the 'action' and sanitized paramaters hashref as input.

Output Returns undef on failure (sets $self->{error} with the proper error). Returns a hashref with the parsed data from the API server if successful.

_parse_output()

Parses the output from Weebly's API call, and returns it as a hash.

_get_url()

Depending on the action passed, it will return part of the URL that you can use along with the _stringify_params method to generate the full GET url.

Input: action param Returns: get_weebly_url().'/weebly/api.php?action='.$action

_add_auth()

Adds the neccessary transaction id (tid) and authentication tokens to the URI

_get_tid()

Input: None.

Returns the tid value generated by the sub referenced in $self->{tid_sub}.

If a 'tid_seed' value was specified when the object was created, then the value returned is the md5_hex hash of the tid_seed value concatenated with the time().

_make_request()

Makes the HTTP request.

Input The full uri to perform the HTTP request on.

Output Returns an array containing the http response, and error.

If the HTTP request was successful, then the error is blank. If the HTTP request failed, then the response is blank and the error is the status line from the HTTP response.

_sanitize_params()

Sanitizes the data in the hashref passed for the action specified.

Input The 'action', and a hashref that has the data that will be sanitized.

Output Boolean value indicating success. The hash is altered in place as needed.

_stringify_params()

Stringifies the content of a hash such that the output can be used as the URI body of a GET request.

Input A hashref containing the sanatizied parameters for an API call.

Output String with the keys and values stringified as so '&key1=value1&key2=value2'

_check_required_keys()

Input First arg: Hashref that contains the data to be checked. Second arg: Hashref that holds the keys to check for.

Output A hash containing the 'missing_params' and 'blank_params', if any are found to be missing. If a required key is missing, it will be present in the missing_params array. If a required key has a blank value, it will be present in the blank_params array. Returns undef, if no issues are found.

_remove_unwanted_keys()

Deletes keys from the provided params hashref, if they are not listed in the hash for wanted keys.

Input First arg: Hashref that contains the data to be checked. Second arg: Hashref that holds the keys to check for.

Output None/undef.

_get_error()

Returns $self->{'error'}

_error()

Internal method that is used to report and set $self->{'error'}.

It will croak if called with a true second argument. Such as:

        $self->_error($msg, 1);
