NAME
WebService::Audioscrobbler::User - An object-oriented interface to the Audioscrobbler WebService API
SYNOPSIS
This module implements an object oriented abstraction of an user within the Audioscrobbler database.
use WebService::Audioscrobbler;
my $ws = WebService::Audioscrobbler->new;
# get an object for user named 'foo'
my $user = $ws->user('foo');
# get user's top artists
my @artists = $user->artists;
# get user's top tags
my @tags = $user->tags;
# get user's top tracks
my @tracks = $user->tracks;
# get user's neighbours
my @neighbours = $user->neighbours; This module inherits from WebService::Audioscrobbler::Base.
FIELDS
name
The name of a given user as provided when constructing the object.
picture_url
URI object pointing to the location of the users's picture, if available.
url
URI object pointing to the location where's additional info might be available about the user.
METHODS
new($user_name)

artists
Retrieves the user's top artists as available on Audioscrobbler's database.
Returns either a list of artists or a reference to an array of artists when called in list context or scalar context, respectively. The artists are returned as WebService::Audioscrobbler::Artist objects by default.

Returns either a list of tracks or a reference to an array of tracks when called in list context or scalar context, respectively. The tracks are returned as WebService::Audioscrobbler::Track objects by default.
tags

neighbours([$filter])
Retrieves musical neighbours from the Audioscrobbler database. $filter can be used as a constraint for neighbours with a low similarity index (ie. users which have a similarity index lower than $filter won't be returned).
Returns either a list of users or a reference to an array of users when called in list context or scalar context, respectively. The users are returned as WebService::Audioscrobbler::SimilarUser objects by default.
