=head1 NAME
WebService::PublicViewpoints - The Perl API to access the public-viewpoints geo-webservice.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use WebService::PublicViewpoints;
my @points = WebService::PublicViewpoints->find(num => 10, country => "JP");
for (@points) {
say $->lat, $_->lng, $_->url;
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
WebService::PublicViewpoints is a Perl API to access the
public-viewpoints geo-webservice available at
L<http://public-viewpoints.appspot.com>. Each viewpoint is basically
a camera shoting at something.
To use it, invoke its `find` class method with constraints:
my @points = WebService::PublicViewpoints->find(num => 10, country => "JP");
The possibile constraint key-values are:
=over 4
=item
num: At least 1, the maximum number of results.
=item
random: "true" or "false".
=item
latitude, longitude: The viewpoints around this location are wanted.
=item
country_code: UK, US, JP, DE, FR.. etc.
=item
city: The city name, like "Miami".
=back
The find method returns a list of point objects, so you catch them in
an array. Each point object has these attributes:
=over 4
=item
url: The URL of camera image.
=item
country_code: UK, US, JP, DE, FR.. etc.
=item
country: The name of the associated country_code.
=item
state: The state abbrevation for US.
=item
city: The city name.
=item
lat: The latitude of this camera image.
=item
lng: The longitude of this camera image.
=back
The detail of the feasible contry/city values are unknown due to the
lack of documentation of the origianl application site.
This work is a based on the work of public-viewpoints service at L<http://public-viewpoints.appspot.com>
