=head1 NAME
WebService::Basecamp - Perl interface to the Basecamp API webservice
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use WebService::Basecamp;
my $bc = WebService::Basecamp->new( url => 'http://mysite.clientsection.com',
user => 'username',
pass => 'password' );
my $test = $bc->ping || die $bc->error();
my $projects = $bc->projects; # a list of all projects
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Basecamp is a web based project collaboration tool that makes it simple to
communicate and collaborate on projects. Basecamp is built on the Ruby on Rails
platform but provides a webservice API to many of the application functions.
WebService::Basecamp is a Perl interface to the Basecamp web service API.
For more information on Basecamp, visit the Basecamp website.
http://www.basecamphq.com.
This module does much of the heavy lifting for you when accessing the Basecamp
API. Once initialising a WebService::Basecamp object you can access the API
function via method calls. The module takes care of the creation and parsing of
the XML (using XML::Simple) that relays the data across the web service, however
there is an option to access the XML directly (see new()).
The documentation for this module is based on the Basecamp API docs available at
http://www.basecamphq.com/api. It is recommended you read the official docs to
become familiar with the data reference.
=head1 METHODS
=over 4
=item new(url => $url, user => $username, pass => $password, [ xml => $xml ])
Call new() to create a new Basecamp object. You must pass the url of your
Basecamp account, a username and password.
my $bc = WebService::Basecamp->new( url => 'http://mysite.clientsection.com',
user => $username,
pass => $password );
By default, all methods return a data reference. If you would prefer to receive
the raw XML from the webservice you can pass the 'xml' parameter. E.g.
my $bc = WebService::Basecamp->new( url => 'http://mysite.clientsection.com',
user => $username,
pass => $password,
xml => 1 );

}
my $self = { _burl => $hash{'url'},
_buser => $hash{'user'},
_bpass => $hash{'pass'},
_xml => $hash{'xml'}
};

=item projects([$key])
This will return a list of all active, on-hold, and archived
projects that you have access to. The list is not ordered.
This method returns a reference to a hash containing an array of file category
names and id.
use Data::Dumper;
my $projects = $bc->projects;
print Dumper($projects);
returns:
$VAR1 = [
{
'start-page' => 'all',
'show-writeboards' => 'false',
'status' => 'active',
'name' => 'Create World Peace',
'created-on' => '2004-05-31',
'last-changed-on' => '2004-09-07T02:49:12Z',
'id' => '123456',

If you pass the optional $key parameter to the method you will
recieve a keyed hash of the project data. The key must be
either 'name' or 'id', e.g.:
use Data::Dumper
my $projects = $bc->projects('name');
print Dumper($projects);
returns:
$VAR1 = [
'Create World Peace' => {

private - optional boolean value. Set to '1' to make this list visible
only to the logged in user. Defaults to '0'.
track - optional boolean value. Set to '1' to enable time tracking on
items in this list. Defaults to '0';
Basecamp allows you to create list templates for easy creation of common task
lists. When creating a new list using this method you can provide the id of a
predefined list template:
template_id - id of predefined template
or pass the name and description for the list:
name - list title
description - optional description of list

Modifies a single milestone. You can use this to shift the deadline of a single

The available fields are as per the create_milestone() method with the addition
of two extra fields:
move_upcoming - optional boolean value. Set to '1' to move subsequent
milestone deadlines whne updating the deadline for this
milestone
move_weekends - optional boolean value. If using the 'move_upcoming'
parameter, you can set this value to '1' to make sure that any
subsequent milestone deadlines do not get moved to a Saturday
or Sunday.

=item create_time($data)
With this method you can create a new time entry for a particular person and
project. The available fields are:
project_id - id for the project associated with the task
person_id - id of the person who completed the work
date - date the work took place. Date format = YYYYMMDD, e.g. 20060801
hours - time worked, in hours
If the task being time tracked is an existing item from a to do list, you can
pass the item_id:
item_id - id of an existing to do list item
or you can provide a description of the task
description - txt description of the task

This method lets you query the time entries in a variety of ways. If you do not
want to query by $person_id, put a 0 in that position. Likewise for $from and
$to (to use default from/to values). In no case can you query more than 90 days'
worth of data. The $filter parameter can be blank, or an id number prefixed by a
'p' (to filter by a specific project) or 'c' (to filter by a specific company).
my $report = $bc->report_time(5,'20060101','20060207','c7');
- would return all time entries for the person with id 5, for all projects
associated with the company with id 7, between the dates 2006-01-01 and
2006-02-07 (inclusive).
Date values passed for $from and $to must be in the format of YYYYMMDD
