              status => 'default',

DESCRIPTION
    Buxfer is an online personal finance site: <http://www.buxfer.com>

    WebService::Buxfer provides access to the Buxfer webservices API.

ACCESSORS
    * preload_accounts - Whether to prefetch account details on login
    * inject_account_name - Whether to automatically inject an 'accountName'
    field into results that contain an internal Buxfer 'accountId' field.
    * debug - Enable debug output
    * url - The URL of the Buxfer API server. You probably don't need to
    change this.
    * _response - The WebService::Buxfer::Response object from the last call
    * _token - The value of the authentication token received from Buxfer

METHODS
  new( \%options )
    Build a new WebService::Buxfer instance.

  GET methods
   transactions(\%params), analysis(\%params)
    Retrieve transactions (25 at a time.)

    Results can be restricted using the following parameters (see Buxfer API
    documentation for details):

    * accountId OR accountName
    * tagId OR tagName
    * startDate AND endDate OR month: date can be specified as "10 feb
    2008", or "2008-02-10". month can be specified as "feb08", "feb 08", or
    "feb 2008".
    * budgetId OR budgetName
    * contactId OR contactName
    * groupId OR groupName
    * page - the page of results you want to see ("transactions" only)

    NOTE: On any given day the format of the 'date' field in the
    transactions seems to change (sometimes I get '3 Jan' and sometimes '3
    Jan 08'.)

    This package makes no attempt to format or inflate dates or any other
    information returned from the API.

   analysts(\%params)
    Get Analysis graph URLs and rawData.

    Takes the same parameters as "transactions".

    Returns a hashref of Analysis information.

   accounts()
    Retrieve Buxfer accounts.

    In array context returns an array of hashrefs containing account
    details.

    In scalar context returns a hashref of account details keyed on the
    internal Buxfer accountId.

    i.e., { $accountId => { name => 'cash', ... }, ... }

   impacts, tags, budgets, groups, contacts
    Calls the given Buxfer API. See Buxfer docs for details.

    In array context returns an array of results.

    In scalar context returns a reference to the array of results.

  POST methods
   add_transactions(\@transactions, \%params)
    Accepts an array of transactions in raw format or as hashrefs and
    submits them to Buxfer using the "add_transaction" API call.

    Because the Buxfer API allows for submission of multiple transactions in
    a single API call, this method will combine transactions into batches
    based on the "max_transactions_per_submit" parameter prior to
    submission.

    WebService::Buxfer will also wrap tags containing spaces in single
    quotes. HOWEVER, the quotes themselves will also end up as part of the
    tag.

    This is the fault of Buxfer's parser: if the single quotes are omitted,
    the system will fail to parse/import the transaction properly.

    Parameters:

    * max_transactions_per_submit - I was able to submit 1000 transactions
    in a single call, so that is the default.
    * format - Currently only 'sms' is supported

    In array context returns an array of responses.

    In scalar context returns a reference to the responses array.

TODO
    Move some of the logic out of here and into
    WebService::Buxfer::Response.

    Add a pager for flipping through transactions based on 25 results per
    page and numTransactions in the response.

    Automatically in/deflate DateTime objects
