NAME Net::LastFM - A simple interface to the Last.fm API SYNOPSIS my $lastfm = Net::LastFM->new( api_key => 'XXX', api_secret => 'YYY', ); my $data = $lastfm->request_signed( method => 'user.getRecentTracks', user => 'lglb', ); DESCRIPTION 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. METHODS request This makes an unsigned request: my $data = $lastfm->request( method => 'auth.gettoken' ); request_signed This makes a signed request: my $data = $lastfm->request_signed( method => 'user.getRecentTracks', user => 'lglb', ); create_http_request 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' ); create_http_request_signed 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', ); AUTHOR Leon Brocard COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2008-9, Leon Brocard.
