DESCRIPTION

WebService::FileCloud is a module to communicate with the http://filecloud.io API. Documentation for their API is available at https://code.google.com/p/filecloud/.

CONSTRUCTOR

new ( OPTIONS )

Creates a new WebService::FileCloud object with the arguments given. All arguments are optional, but may be required depending upon the API methods executed.

akey => APIKEY

The API key provided to your account by filecloud.io. This can be determined via the fetch_apikey() method if you provided your username and password of the account. Many methods require this argument to be specified.

METHODS

All methods will return a false value if they were called incorrectly (missing required parameters), or if there was an HTTP or other internal error issuing the request. Use the error() method to get an error message as to why it failed. Otherwise, they should return a JSON-decoded hashref as is directly from filecloud.io (which may also contain an error).
