WWW::SEOGears - Perl Interface for SEOGears API.
Version 0.04
This module provides you with an perl interface to interact with the Seogears API.
use WWW::SEOGears; my $api = WWW::SEOGears->new( { 'brandname' => $brandname, 'brandkey' => $brandkey, 'sandbox' => $boolean }); $api->newuser($params_for_newuser); $api->statuscheck($params_for_statuscheck); $api->inactivate($params_for_inactivate); $api->update($params_for_update); $api->get_tempauth($params_for_update);
Constructor.
Input takes a hashref that contains:
Required: brandname => Brandname as listed on seogears' end. brandkey => Brandkey received from seogears. Will croak if the above keys are not present. Optional: sandbox => If specified the sandbox API url is used instead of production. http_opts => Hashref of options that are passed on to the HTTP::Tiny object that is used internally. Example value: { 'agent' => 'WWW-SEOGears', 'timeout' => 20, 'verify_SSL' => 0, 'SSL_options' => {'SSL_verify_mode' => 0x00} } Deprecated (will be dropped in the upcoming update): Will emit a warning if used. lwp => hash of options for LWP::UserAgent - will be converted to their corresponding HTTP::Tiny options. Example value: {'parse_head' => 0, 'ssl_opts' => {'verify_hostname' => 0, 'SSL_verify_mode' => 0x00}}
Creates a new user via the 'action=new' API call. Since the 'userid' and 'email' can be used to fetch details about the seogears account, storing these values locally is recommended.
Input Requires that you pass in the following parameters for the call:
userid => '123456789' email => 'test1@testing123.com' name => 'Testing User' phone => '1.5552223333' domain => 'somedomain.com' rep => 'rep@domain.com' placement => 'reg' pack => '32' price => '14.99' months => '12'
Croaks if it is unable to sanitize the %params passed successfully, or the HTTP request to the API fails.
Output Hash containing the data returned by the API:
"success" => 1 "authkey" => "GB0353566P163045n07157LUFGZntgqNF042MO692S19567CIGHj727437179300tE5nt8C362803K686Yrbj4643zausyiw" "bzid" => "30928" "debuginfo" => "Success" "message" => "New Account Created"

Updates/Renews a user via the 'action=update' API call.
"bzid" => "30724" "authkey" => "WO8407914M283278j87070OPWZGkmvsEG847ZB845Q28584YSBDt684478133472pV3ws1X655571X005Zlhh6810hsxjjka" Optional params: "email" => "newemail@testing123.com" "phone" => "1.5552224444" "pack" => "33" "months" => "24" "price" => "14.99"

Retrieves the tempauth key for an account from the API.
bzid => '31037' authkey => 'HH1815009C705940t76917IWWAQdvyoDR077CO567M05324BHUCa744638889409oM8kw5E097737M626Gynd3974rsetvzf'
'success' => 1, 'bzid' => '31037', 'tempauthkey' => 'OU8937pI03R56Lz493j0958US34Ui9mgJG831JY756X0Tz04WGXVu762IuIxg7643vV6ju9M96J951V430Qvnw41b4qzgp2pu', 'message' => ''
Generates the temporary login URL with which you can access the seogears' control panel. Essentially acts as a wrapper that stringifies the data returned by get_tempauth.
Input Requires that you pass in either:
Or
If the bzid/authkey are not provied, then it will attempt to look up the proper information using the userid and email provided.
Output Returns the login url that can be used to access the control panel on SEOgears. Example: https://seogearstools.com/api/login.html?bzid=31037&tempauthkey=OU8937pI03R56Lz493j0958US34Ui9mgJG831JY756X0Tz04WGXVu762IuIxg7643vV6ju9M96J951V430Qvnw41b4qzgp2pu
Return the corresponding api url that is being used.
Returns $self->{'error'}
Returns $self->{'brandname'}
Returns $self->{'brandkey'}
The following are not meant to be used directly, but are available if 'finer' control is required.
Wraps the call to _make_request and handles error checks.
INPUT Takes the 'action' and sanitized paramaters hashref as input.
Output Returns undef on failure (sets $self->{error} with the proper error). Returns a hash with the decoded json data from the API server if successful.
Makes the HTTP request to the API server.
Input The full uri to perform the HTTP request on.
Output Returns an array containing the http response, and error. If the HTTP request was successful, then the error is blank. If the HTTP request failed, then the response is blank and the error is the status line from the HTTP response.
Stringifies the content of a hash such that the output can be used as the URI body of a GET request.
Input A hashref containing the sanatizied parameters for an API call.
Output String with the keys and values stringified as so '&key1=value1&key2=value2'
sanitizes the data in the hashref passed for the action specified.
Input The 'action', and a hashref that has the data that will be sanitized.
Output Boolean value indicating success. The hash is altered in place as needed.
Input: Three hashrefs that contain the following in the specified order:
1) the hashref to the params that need to be checked. 2) the hashref to the 'required' set of params 3) the hashref to the 'optional' set of params
Outupt: Undef if everything is good. If errors are detected, it will:
either return a hashref that has two arrays: 'required_params' - which will list the required params that are missing. And 'blank_params' - which will list the params that have blank values specified for them. or a string with a specific error message.
This also 'prunes' the first hashref of params that are not specified in either the required or the optional hashrefs.
Returns true if the 'months' value specified is a valid. Currently, you can set renewals to occur on a monthly or yearly (upto 3 years), so the valid values are:
1 12 24 36
Depending on the action passed, it will return the initial part of the URL that you can use along with the _stringify_params method to generate the full GET url.
Valid actions and the corresponding strings that are returned:
'auth' => get_authurl().'?' 'login' => get_loginurl().'?' 'new' => get_userurl().'?action=new' 'statuscheck' => get_userurl().'?action=statuscheck' 'inactivate' => get_userurl().'?action=inactivate' 'update' => get_userurl().'?action=update'
If no valid action is specified, it will set the $self->{error} and return;
Internal method that is used to report and set $self->{'error'}.
It will croak if called with a true second argument. Such as:
$self->_error($msg, 1);
Internal helper method that will calculate the expiration date thats x months in the future - calculated via Date::Calc's Add_Delta_YMDHMS().
Helper method that translates the passed in LWP opts hashref to a corresponding HTTP::Tiny opts hashref.
