DESCRIPTION

This module provides a Perl interface to the Simpy social bookmarking service. See http://www.simpy.com/simpy/service/api/rest/

THIS IS AN ALPHA RELEASE. This module should not be relied on for any purpose, beyond serving as an indication that a reliable version will be forthcoming at some point the future.

This module is being developed as part of the "tagged wiki" component of the Transpartisan Meshworks project ( http://www.transpartisanmeshworks.org ). The "tagged wiki" will integrate social bookmarking and collaborative content development in a single application.

EXPORT

None by default.

METHODS

Constructor Method

Simpy object constructor method.

my $s = new Simpy;

Accessor Methods

Return the HTTP status of the last call to the Simpy REST server, or syntax errors from the XML::Parser module, if any.

Return the message string, if any, returned by the last Simpy REST method.

REST API Methods

See http://www.simpy.com/simpy/service/api/rest/ for more information about required and optional parameters for these methods.

GetTags

Returns an object has of tag/count pairs.

my $tags = $s->GetTags($cred, $opts);
print "The tag 'dolphin' has a count of " . $tags->{dolphin};

RemoveTag

RenameTag

Merges two tags via the Simpy API. Returns a true result if successful.

SplitTag

This is an early alpha release. Not all methods of the API are implemented, nor have the sub-modules defining data types for those API methods been developed.
