# NAME WebService::Europeana - access the API of europeana.eu # VERSION This document describes WebService::Europeana version 0.0.2 # SYNOPSIS use WebService::Europeana; my $Europeana = WebService::Europeana->new(wskey => 'API_KEY'); my $result = $Europeana->search(query => "Europe", reusability=> 'open', rows => 3); foreach my $item (@{$result->{items}}){ print $item->{title}->[0]."\n"; } # DESCRIPTION This module is a wrapper around the REST API of Europeana (cf. [http://labs.europeana.eu/api/introduction](http://labs.europeana.eu/api/introduction)). At the moment only a basic search function is implemented. # CONSTRUCTOR $Europeana = WebService::Europeana->new(wskey=>'API_KEY') - wskey API key, can be requested at <http://labs.europeana.eu/api/registration> # METHODS ## search for further explanation of the possible parameters please refer to [http://labs.europeana.eu/api/search](http://labs.europeana.eu/api/search) - query The search term(s). - profile Profile parameter controls the format and richness of the response. See the possible values of the profile parameter. - reusability Filter by copyright status. Possible values are open, restricted or permission. - rows The number of records to return. Maximum is 100. Defaults to 12. - start The item in the search results to start with when using cursor-based pagination. The first item is 1. Defaults to 1. - qf Facet filtering query. This parameter can be a simple string e.g. `qf=>"TYPE:IMAGE"` or an array reference, e.g. `qf=>["TYPE:IMAGE","LANGUAGE:de"]` # LOGGING This module uses the [Log::Any](https://metacpan.org/pod/Log::Any)-Framework. To get logging output use [Log::Any::Adapter](https://metacpan.org/pod/Log::Any::Adapter) along with a destination-specific subclass. For example, to send output to a file via [Log::Any::Adapter::File](https://metacpan.org/pod/Log::Any::Adapter::File), your application could do this: use WebService::Europeana use Log::Any::Adapter ('File', '/path/to/file.log'); my $Europeana = WebService::Europeana->new(wskey=>'API_KEY'); $results = $Europeana->search(query=>'Europe'); # BUGS AND LIMITATIONS At the moment just a basic subset of the search parameters is implemented. No bugs have been reported. Please report any bugs or feature requests to `bug-www-europeana@rt.cpan.org`, or through the web interface at [http://rt.cpan.org](http://rt.cpan.org). # AUTHOR Peter Mayr `` # LICENCE AND COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2015, Peter Mayr ``.
