SYNOPSIS

use WWW::NOS::Open;
my $nos = WWW::NOS::Open->new($API_KEY);
@latest_articles = $nos->get_latest_articles('nieuws');

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

To use this module with the live content of Open NOS you need an API key which can be obtained by registering at Open NOS and then configure your account there with the IP range you'll be accessing the service from.

This module can use the optional environment variable NOSOPEN_SERVER to specify a server URL that is not the default Open NOS live service at http://open.nos.nl.

The user agent identifier used in the request to the REST API is WWW::NOS::Open/v1.0.3.

DEPENDENCIES

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None.

DIAGNOSTICS

Exceptions in the form of an Exception::Class are thrown when the Open NOS service reports an exception:

NOSOpenUnauthorizedException

When a request was made without a valid API key, or from an IP address not configured to be valid for that API key.

NOSOpenExceededRangeException

When the time period for a guide request exceeds the supported range of 14 days.

NOSOpenInternalServerErrorException

When an internal server error has occurred in the Open NOS service.

NOSOpenBadRequestException

When the Open NOS service reports the request had bad syntax.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

Currently this module only uses the XML output of the Open NOS service and has no option to use the JSON or serialized PHP formats. When the API matures the other output options might be added and the content of the raw responses exposed for further processing in an appropriate environment.
