NAME

Net::iTMS::Search - Represents a simple search of the iTunes Music Store

SYNOPSIS

use Net::iTMS::Search;

my $search = Net::iTMS::Search->new($iTMS, $query);

for my $album ($search->albums) {
    print $album->title, " by ", $album->artist->name, "\n";
}

DESCRIPTION

Net::iTMS::Search represents a search of the iTMS and encapsulates the associated data. PLEASE NOTE: This simple search is currently broken due to unresolvable changes in the iTMS. Please use Net::iTMS::Search::Advanced, which works.

Methods

new($itms, $query)

The first argument must be an instance of Net::iTMS, the second a query string.

Returns a blessed hashref (object) for Net::iTMS::Search.

query

Returns the query string the search is for.

songs

Returns an array or arrayref (depending on context) of Net::iTMS::Song objects for the songs found.

albums

Returns an array or arrayref (depending on context) of Net::iTMS::Album objects for the albums found.

NB: Due to an apparent limitation of the simple search in the iTMS, the maximum number of albums returned will be four.
