NAME

WebService::GoogleAPI::Client - Google API Services Client.

VERSION

version 0.13

SYNOPSIS

Access Google API Services Version 1 using an OAUTH2 User Agent

use WebService::GoogleAPI::Client;

## assumes gapi.json configuration in working directory with scoped project and user authorization

my $gapi_client = WebService::GoogleAPI::Client->new( debug => 1, gapi_json => 'gapi.json', user=> 'peter@pscott.com.au' );

AUTOMATIC API REQUEST CONSTRUCTION - SEND EMAL

## using dotted API Endpoint id to invoke helper validation and default value interpolations etc to send email to self
use Email::Simple;    ## RFC2822 formatted messages
use MIME::Base64;
my $my_email_address = 'peter@shotgundriver.com'


my $raw_email_payload = encode_base64( Email::Simple->create( header => [To => $my_email_address, 
                                                                         From => $my_email_address, 
                                                                         Subject =>"Test email from '$my_email_address' ",], 
                                                                         body => "This is the body of email to '$my_email_address'", 
                                                            )->as_string 
                                    );

$gapi_client->api_query( 
                        api_endpoint_id => 'gmail.users.messages.send',
                        options    => { raw => $raw_email_payload },
                    );

MANUAL API REQUEST CONSTRUCTION - GET CALENDAR LIST

## Completely manually constructed API End-Point Request to obtain Perl Data Structure converted from JSON response.
my $res = $gapi_client->api_query(
  method => 'get',
  path => 'https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/users/me/calendarList',
)->json;

new

WebService::GoogleAPI::Client->new( user => 'useremail@sdf.com', gapi_json => '/fullpath/gapi.json' );

api_query

query Google API with option to validate request before submitting

handles user auth token inclusion in request headers and refreshes token if required and possible

Required params: method, route

Optional params: api_endpoint_id

$self->access_token must be valid

Examples of usage:

$gapi->api_query({
    method => 'get',
    path => 'https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/users/me/calendarList',
  });

$gapi->api_query({
    method => 'post',
    path => 'https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/'.$calendar_id.'/events',
    options => { key => value }
}

## if provide the Google API Endpoint to inform pre-query validation
say $gapi_agent->api_query(
    api_endpoint_id => 'gmail.users.messages.send',
    options    => { raw => encode_base64( 
                                          Email::Simple->create( header => [To => $user, From => $user, Subject =>"Test email from $user",], 
                                                                  body   => "This is the body of email from $user to $user", )->as_string 
                                        ), 
                  },
)->to_string; ##

print  $gapi_agent->api_query(
          api_endpoint_id => 'gmail.users.messages.list', ## auto sets method to GET, path to 'https://www.googleapis.com/calendar'
        )->to_string;
#print Dumper $r;


NB: including the version in the API Endpoint Spec is not supported .. yet? eg gmail:v1.users.messages.list .. will always use the latest stable version


if the pre-query validation fails then a 418 - I'm a Teapot error response is returned with the 
body containing the specific description of the errors ( Tea Leaves ;^) ).   

Returns Mojo::Message::Response object

has_scope_to_access_api_endpoint

Given an API Endpoint such as 'gmail.users.settings.sendAs.get' returns 1 iff user has scope to access

Returns 0 if scope to access is not available to the user.

warns and returns 0 on error ( eg user or config not specified etc )

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_id

list_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.

WHen called in a scalar context returns the list as a comma joined string.

DELEGATED FROM WebService::GoogleAPI::Client::Discovery

FEATURES

API Discovery with local caching using CHI File
OAUTH app credentials (client_id, client_secret, scope, users access_token and refresh_tokens) stored in local file (default name = gapi.json)
access_token refreshes when expires (if user has refresh_token) saving refreshed token back to json file
helper api_query to streamline request composition without preventing manual construction if preferred.
CLI tool (goauth) with lightweight http server to simplify OAuth2 configuration, sccoping, authorization and obtaining access_ and refresh_ tokensn from users
