NAME

Net::Fritz::Phonebook - manage the Fritz!Box phonebook from Perl

SYNOPSIS

my $fb = Net::Fritz::Box->new(
    username => $username,
    password => $password,
    upnp_url => $host,
);
my $device = $fb->discover;
if( my $error = $device->error ) {
    die $error
};

my @phonebooks = Net::Fritz::Phonebook->list(device => $device);

This module uses the API exposed by the Fritz!Box via TR064 to read, create and update contacts in a phone book. This uses the X_AVM-DE_OnTel service, which is specific to the AVM Fritz!Box line of products.

ACCESSORS

id

print $phonebook->id;

The ID of the phone book on the Fritz!Box

name

print $phonebook->name;

The user visible name of the phone book on the Fritz!Box

url

print $phonebook->url;

The URL of the phone book on the Fritz!Box

This URL is used to access the phone book contents.

entries

for my $entry ( @{ $phonebook->entries }) {
    print $entry->name
};

Arrayref of the entries in this phone book. Each entry is a Net::Fritz::PhonebookEntry.

METHODS

$phonebook->create

$phonebook->create();

Creates the phone book on the FritzBox. Entries of this phone book are not saved.

$phonebook->delete

$phonebook->delete();

Deletes the phone book on the FritzBox. All entries of this phone book are also deleted with the phone book.

$phonebook->add_entry

$phonebook->add_entry( $new_contact );

Saves an entry in the phone book on the FritzBox.

$phonebook->get_entry_by_uniqueid

my $entry = $phonebook->get_entry_by_uniqueid( $uniqueid );

Scans all phone book entries and returns the one with the matching unique id

$phonebook->get_entry_by_index

my $entry = $phonebook->get_entry_by_index( 0 );

Retrieves a single entry in the phone book on the FritzBox by its index in the list. This avoids fetching the complete phone book, but you basically have no way of determining the order of entries.

Net::Fritz::Phonebook->by_name( $device, $name )

my $device = $fb->discover;
my $phonebook = Net::Fritz::Phonebook->by_name( device => $device, name => 'Telefonbuch' );

Utility function to find a phonebook by name.

Net::Fritz::Phonebook->list( $service )

my $device = $fb->discover;
my $services = $device->find_service_names(qr/X_AVM-DE_OnTel/);
my @phonebooks = Net::Fritz::Phonebook->list( service => $services->data->[0] );

Net::Fritz::Phonebook->reload

$phonebook->reload();

Refreshes the content of the phonebook from the Fritz!Box. This is useful if you have added or removed entries from the phone book and want to fetch the state on the Fritz!Box again.
