=head1 NAME

Flickr::API - Perl interface to the Flickr API

=head1 SYNOPSIS

=head2 Using OAuth to call a B<method> not requiring authentication

  use Flickr::API;

  my $api = Flickr::API->new({
        'consumer_key'    => 'your_api_key',
        'consumer_secret' => 'your_app_secret',
    });

  my $response = $api->execute_method('flickr.test.echo', {
        'foo' => 'bar',
        'baz' => 'quux',
    });


  my $config_file = $HOME/saved-flickr.st;
  $api->export_storable_config($config_file);


=head2 Non-OAuth method calling B<method> not requiring authentication

  use Flickr::API;

  my $api = Flickr::API->new({
        'key'    => 'your_api_key',
        'secret' => 'your_app_secret',
    });

  my $response = $api->execute_method('flickr.test.echo', {
        'foo' => 'bar',
        'baz' => 'quux',
    });



=head2 Alternatively, Using OAuth for non-authenticated B<request>

  use Flickr::API;
  use Flickr::API::Request;

  my $api = Flickr::API->new({'consumer_key' => 'your_api_key','consumer_secret' => 'your_app_secret'});

  my $request = Flickr::API::Request->new({
        'method' => 'flickr.test.echo',
        'args' => {},
    });

  my $response = $api->execute_request($request);

=head2 Authenticate an OAuth API Object starting with saved configuration

  use Flickr::API;
  use Term::ReadLine;

  my $config_file = "$ENV{HOME}/saved-flickr.st";
  my $term   = Term::ReadLine->new('Testing Flickr::API');
  $term->ornaments(0);

  my $api = Flickr::API->import_storable_config($config_file);

  my $rt_rc =  $api->oauth_request_token( { 'callback' => 'https://127.0.0.1/' } );

  my %request_token;
  if ( $rt_rc eq 'ok' ) {

      my $uri = $api->oauth_authorize_uri({ 'perms' => 'read' });

      my $prompt = "\n\n$uri\n\n" .
          "Copy the above url to a browser, and authenticate with Flickr\n" .
          "Press [ENTER] once you get the redirect: ";
      my $input = $term->readline($prompt);

      $prompt = "\n\nCopy the redirect URL from your browser and enter it\nHere: ";
      $input = $term->readline($prompt);

      chomp($input);

      my ($callback_returned,$token_received) = split(/\?/,$input);
      my (@parms) = split(/\&/,$token_received);
      foreach my $pair (@parms) {

          my ($key,$val) = split(/=/,$pair);
          $key =~ s/oauth_//;
          $request_token{$key}=$val;

      }
  }

  my $ac_rc = $api->oauth_access_token(\%request_token);
  if ( $ac_rc eq 'ok' ) {

      $api->export_storable_config($config_file);

      my $response = $api->execute_method('flickr.auth.oauth.checkToken');
      my $hash_ref = $response->as_hash();

      $response    = $api->execute_method('flickr.prefs.getPrivacy');
      my $rsp_node = $response->as_tree();
  }

=head2 The OAuth authorization uri will look something like:

  https://api.flickr.com/services/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=12345678901234567-890abcdefedcba98&perms=read

=head2 The callback is called with a token and verifier such as:

  https://127.0.0.1/?oauth_token=12345678901234567-890abcdefedcba98&oauth_verifier=cafe12345678feed


=head1 DESCRIPTION

An interface for using the Flickr API.

C<Flickr::API> is a subclass of L<LWP::UserAgent>, so all of the various
proxy, request limits, caching, etc are available. C<Flickr::API> can
instantiate using either the Flickr Authentication (deprecated) or the
OAuth Authentication. OAuth is handled using L<Net::OAuth>.

=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS

=over

=item C<new({ opt =E<gt> 'value', ... })>

Returns as new L<Flickr::API> object. The options are as follows:

=over

=item either C<key> for the Flickr auth or C<consumer_key> for OAuth

Your API key (one or the other form is required)

=item either C<secret> for the Flickr auth or C<consumer_secret> for OAuth

Your API key's secret (the one matching the key/consumer_key is required)

=item C<rest_uri> & C<auth_uri>

Override the URIs used for contacting the API.

=item C<lwpobj>

Base the C<Flickr::API> on this object, instead of creating a new instance of L<LWP::UserAgent>.
This is useful for using the features of e.g. L<LWP::UserAgent::Cached>.

=item C<unicode>

This flag controls whether Flickr::API expects you to pass UTF-8 bytes (unicode=0, the default) or
actual unicode strings (unicode=1) in the request.

=item C<nonce>, C<timestamp>, C<request_method>, C<signature_method>, C<request_url>

These values are used by L<Net::OAuth> to assemble and sign OAuth I<consumer> request
Flickr API calls. The defaults are usually fine.

=item  C<callback>

The callback is used in oauth authentication. When Flickr authorizes you, it returns the
access token and access token secret in a callback URL. This defaults to https://127.0.0.1/

=item C<token> and C<token_secret>

These values are used by L<Net::OAuth> to assemble and sign OAuth I<protected resource> request
Flickr API calls.


=back

=item C<execute_method($method, $args)>

Constructs a L<Flickr::API::Request> object and executes it, returning a L<Flickr::API::Response> object.

=item C<execute_request($request)>

Executes a L<Flickr::API::Request> object, returning a L<Flickr::API::Response> object. Calls are signed
if a secret was specified when creating the L<Flickr::API> object.

=item C<request_auth_url($perms,$frob)>

Returns a L<URI> object representing the URL that an application must redirect a user to for approving
an authentication token.

C<$perms> must be B<read>, B<write>, or B<delete>.

For web-based applications I<$frob> is an optional parameter.

Returns undef if a secret was not specified when creating the C<Flickr::API> object.

=item C<export_config([$type,$params])>

Returns a hash of all or part of the persistent parts of the Flickr::API object with
additional behaviors for Flickr::API objects using OAuth.

=over

=item oauth message type: one of C<Consumer>, C<Protected Resource>, C<Request Token>, C<Authorize User> or C<Access Token>

This is one of the the message type that L<Net::OAuth> handles. Message type is optional.

=item oauth parameter set: C<message> or C<API> or undef.

L<Net::OAuth> will return message params, api params or all params depending on what is requested.
All params is the default.

=back

If the Flickr::API object identifies as Flickr original authentication, return a
hashref

  $VAR1 = {
            'frob' => '12332112332112300-feedabcde123456c-1234567',
            'key' => 'cafefeedbeef13579246801234567890',
            'secret' => 'beef321432154321',
            'token' => '97531086421234567-cafe123456789abc'
          };

or the subset thereof depending on what has been used by the API.


If the API object identifies as OAuth authentication, and C<message type> is
specified, then export_config will return a hash of the OAuth parameters for
the specified L<Net::OAuth> message type. Further, if parameter is specified,
then export_config returns either either the set of B<message> parameters or
B<api> parameters for the message type. If parameter is not specified then both
parameter type are returned. For example:

  my %config = $api->export_config('protected resource');

or

  my %config = $api->export_config('protected resource','message');


When export_config is called without arguments, then it returns the OAuth
portion of the L<Flickr::API> object. If present the L<Net::OAuth> I<Request Token>
and I<Access Token> objects are also included.

  VAR1 = {
            'access_token' => bless( {
                                       'extra_params' => {
                                                           'fullname' => 'Louis',
                                                           'user_nsid' => '12345678@N00',
                                                           'username' => 'meanameicallmyself'
                                                         },
                                       'from_hash' => 1,
                                       'token' => '12345678901234567-cafe123098765432',
                                       'token_secret' => 'eebeef000fedbca1'
                                     }, 'Net::OAuth::AccessTokenResponse' ),
            'callback' => 'https://127.0.0.1',
            'consumer_key' => 'cafefeedbeef13579246801234567890',
            'consumer_secret' => 'fedcba9876543210',
            'nonce' => '917fa882fa7babd5a1b7702e7d19502a',
            'request_method' => 'GET',
            'request_url' => 'https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/',
            'signature_method' => 'HMAC-SHA1',
            'timestamp' => 1436129308,
            'token' => '12345678901234567-cafe123098765432',
            'token_secret' => 'eebeef000fedbca1',
            'version' => '1.0'
          };

  my %config = $api->export_config();

=back

This method can be used to extract and save the API parameters for
future use.
