NAME
WebService::GoogleAPI::Client::Discovery - Google API discovery service
VERSION
version 0.11
MORE INFORMATION
https://developers.google.com/discovery/v1/reference/
SEE ALSO
Not using Swagger but it is interesting - https://github.com/APIs-guru/openapi-directory/tree/master/APIs/googleapis.com for Swagger Specs.
Google::API::Client - contains code for parsing discovery structures
includes a chi property that is an instance of CHI using File Driver to cache discovery resources for 30 days
say $client-dicovery->chi->root_dir(); ## provides full file path to temp storage location used for caching
TODO
* deal with case of service names - either make it case insensitive or lock in a consistent approach - currently smells like case changes on context * handle 403 ( Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded.) errors when reqeusting a disdovery resource for a resvice but do we have access to authenticated reqeusts? * consider refactoring this entire module into UserAgent .. NB - this is also included as property of Services.pm which is the factory for dynamic classes
METHODS
get_api_discovery_for_api_id
returns the cached version if avaiable in CHI otherwise retrieves discovery data via HTTP, stores in CHI cache and returns as a Perl data structure.
my $hashref = $self->get_api_discovery_for_api_id( 'gmail' );
my $hashref = $self->get_api_discovery_for_api_id( 'gmail:v3' );returns the api discovery specification structure ( cached by CHI ) for api id ( eg 'gmail ')
returns the discovery data as a hashref, an empty hashref on certain failing conditions or croaks on critical errors.
discover_all
TODO: Consider rename to return_fetched_google_v1_apis_discovery_structure
TODO - handle auth required error and resubmit request with OAUTH headers if response indicates access requires auth ( when exceed free access limits )
Return details about all Available Google APIs as provided by Google or in CHI Cache
On Success: Returns HASHREF with keys discoveryVersion,items,kind
On Failure: Warns and returns empty hashref
my $d = WebService::GoogleAPI::Client::Discovery->new;
print Dumper $d;
WebService::GoogleAPI::Client::Discovery->discover_all();
$client->discover_all();
$client->discover_all(1); ## NB if include a parameter that evaluates to true such as '1' then the cache is flushed with a new versionSEE ALSO: available_APIs, list_of_available_google_api_ids
augment_discover_all_with_unlisted_experimental_api
Allows you to augment the cached stored version of the discovery structure
augment_discover_all_with_unlisted_experimental_api( { 'version' => 'v4', 'preferred' => 1, 'title' => 'Google My Business API', 'description' => 'The Google My Business API provides an interface for managing business location information on Google.', 'id' => 'mybusiness:v4', 'kind' => 'discovery#directoryItem', 'documentationLink' => "https://developers.google.com/my-business/", 'icons' => { "x16": "http://www.google.com/images/icons/product/search-16.gif", "x32": "http://www.google.com/images/icons/product/search-32.gif" }, 'discoveryRestUrl' => 'https://developers.google.com/my-business/samples/mybusiness_google_rest_v4p2.json', 'name' => 'mybusiness' } );
if there is a conflict with the existing then warn and return the existing data without modification
on success just returns the augmented structure
available_APIs
Return arrayref of all available API's (services)
{
'name' => 'youtube',
'versions' => [ 'v3' ]
documentationLink => ,
discoveryRestUrl => ,
},Originally for printing list of supported API's in documentation ..
SEE ALSO: may be better/more flexible to use client->list_of_available_google_api_ids client->discover_all which is delegated to Client::Discovery->discover_all
service_exists
Return 1 if Google Service API ID is described by Google API discovery.
Otherwise return 0
print $d->service_exists('calendar'); # 1
print $d->service_exists('someapi'); # 0NB - Is case sensitive - all lower is required so $d->service_exists('Calendar') returns 0
supported_as_text
No params.
Returns list of supported APIs as string in human-readible format ( name, versions and doclinks )available_versions
Show available versions of particular API described by api id passed as parameter such as 'gmail'
$d->available_versions('calendar'); # ['v3']
$d->available_versions('youtubeAnalytics'); # ['v1','v1beta1']
Returns arrayreflatest_stable_version
return latest stable verion of API
$d->available_versions('calendar'); # ['v3']
$d->latest_stable_version('calendar'); # 'v3'
$d->available_versions('tagmanager'); # ['v1','v2']
$d->latest_stable_version('tagmanager'); # ['v2']
$d->available_versions('storage'); # ['v1','v1beta1', 'v1beta2']
$d->latest_stable_version('storage'); # ['v1']extract_method_discovery_detail_from_api_spec
$self->extract_method_discovery_detail_from_api_spec( $tree, $api_version )
returns a hashref representing the discovery specification for the method identified by $tree in dotted API format such as texttospeech.text.synthesize
returns an empty hashref if not found
methods_available_for_google_api_id
Returns a hashref keyed on the Google service API Endpoint in dotted format. The hashed content contains a structure representing the corresponding discovery specification for that method ( API Endpoint )
methods_available_for_google_api_id('gmail.users.settings.delegates.get')TODO: consider ? refactor to allow parameters either as a single api id such as 'gmail' as well as the currently accepted hash keyed on the api and version
SEE ALSO: The following methods are delegated through to Client::Discovery - see perldoc WebService::Client::Discovery for detils
get_method_meta
discover_all
extract_method_discovery_detail_from_api_spec
get_api_discovery_for_api_idlist_of_available_google_api_ids
Returns an array list of all the available API's described in the API Discovery Resource that is either fetched or cached in CHI locally for 30 days.
