=head1 ABSTRACT

  Net::Amazon provides an object-oriented interface to amazon.com's
  REST interface. This way it's possible to create applications
  using Amazon's vast amount of data via a functional interface, without
  having to worry about the underlying communication mechanism.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Net::Amazon> works very much like C<LWP>: First you define a useragent
like

  my $ua = Net::Amazon->new(
      token      => 'YOUR_AMZN_TOKEN',
      secret_key => 'YOUR_AMZN_SECRET_KEY',
      max_pages => 3,
  );

which you pass your personal amazon developer's token (can be obtained
from L<http://amazon.com/soap>) and (optionally) the maximum number of 
result pages the agent is going to request from Amazon in case all
results don't fit on a single page (typically holding 20 items).  Note that
each new page requires a minimum delay of 1 second to comply with Amazon's
one-query-per-second policy.

According to the different search methods on Amazon, there's a bunch
of different request types in C<Net::Amazon>. The user agent's 
convenience method C<search()> triggers different request objects, 
depending on which parameters you pass to it:

=over 4

=item C<< $ua->search(asin => "0201360683") >>

The C<asin> parameter has Net::Amazon search for an item with the 
specified ASIN. If the specified value is an arrayref instead of a single
scalar, like in

    $ua->search(asin => ["0201360683", "0596005083"]) 

then a search for multiple ASINs is performed, returning a list of 
results.

=item C<< $ua->search(actor => "Adam Sandler") >>

The C<actor> parameter has the user agent search for items created by
the specified actor. Can return many results.

=item C<< $ua->search(artist => "Rolling Stones") >>

The C<artist> parameter has the user agent search for items created by
the specified artist. Can return many results.

=item C<< $ua->search(author => "Robert Jordan") >>

The C<author> parameter has the user agent search for items created by
the specified author. Can return many results.

=item C<< $ua->search(browsenode=>"4025", mode=>"books" [, keywords=>"perl"]) >>

Returns a list of items by category ID (node). For example node "4025"
is the CGI books category.  You can add a keywords parameter to filter 
the results by that keyword.

=item C<< $ua->search(exchange => 'Y04Y3424291Y2398445') >>

Returns an item offered by a third-party seller. The item is referenced
by the so-called I<exchange ID>.

=item C<< $ua->search(keyword => "perl xml", mode => "books") >>

Search by keyword, mandatory parameters C<keyword> and C<mode>.
Can return many results.

=item C<< $ua->search(wishlist => "1XL5DWOUFMFVJ") >>

Search for all items in a specified wishlist.
Can return many results.

=item C<< $ua->search(upc => "075596278324", mode => "music") >>

Music search by UPC (product barcode), mandatory parameter C<upc>.
C<mode> has to be set to C<music>. Returns at most one result.

=item C<< $ua->search(isbn => "0439784549") >>

Book search by ISBN (International Standard Book Number), mandatory parameter
C<isbn>.  Returns at most one result.  When searching non-US locales use the
13-digit ISBN.

=item C<< $ua->search(similar => "0201360683") >>

Search for all items similar to the one represented by the ASIN provided.
Can return many results.

=item C<< $ua->search(power => "subject: perl and author: schwartz", mode => "books") >>

Initiate a power search for all books matching the power query.
Can return many results. See L<Net::Amazon::Request::Power> for details.

=item C<< $ua->search(manufacturer => "Disney") >>

Initiate a search for all items made by a given manufacturrer.
Can return many results. See L<Net::Amazon::Request::Manufacturer> 
for details.

=item C<< $ua->search(musiclabel => "Arista") >>

Initiate a search for all items made by a given music label. Can return many
results. See Net::Amazon::Request::MusicLabel for details.

=item C<< $ua->search(publisher => "o'reilly") >>

Initiate a search for all items made by a given publisher. Can return many
results. See Net::Amazon::Request::Publisher for details.

=item C<< $ua->search(blended => "Perl") >>

Initiate a search for items in all categories.

=item C<< $ua->search(seller => "A2GXAGU54VOP7") >>

Start a search on items sold by a specific third-party seller, referenced
by its ID (not seller name).

=item C<< $ua->search(textstream => "Blah blah Rolling Stones blah blah") >>

Find items related to keywords within a text stream.

=back

The user agent's C<search> method returns a response object, which can be 
checked for success or failure:

  if($resp->is_success()) {
      print $resp->as_string();
  } else {
      print "Error: ", $resp->message(), "\n";
  }

In case the request for an item search 
succeeds, the response contains one or more
Amazon 'properties', as it calls the products found.
All matches can be retrieved from the Response 
object using it's C<properties()> method.

In case the request fails, the response contains one or more
error messages. The response object's C<message()> method will
return it (or them) as a single string, while C<messages()> (notice
the plural) will
return a reference to an array of message strings.

Response objects always have the methods 
C<is_success()>,
C<is_error()>,
C<message()>,
C<total_results()>,
C<as_string()> and
C<properties()> available.

C<total_results()> returns the total number of results the search
yielded.
C<properties()> returns one or more C<Net::Amazon::Property> objects of type
C<Net::Amazon::Property> (or one of its subclasses like
C<Net::Amazon::Property::Book>, C<Net::Amazon::Property::Music>
or Net::Amazon::Property::DVD), each
of which features accessors named after the attributes of the product found
in Amazon's database:

    for ($resp->properties) {
       print $_->Asin(), " ",
             $_->OurPrice(), "\n";
    }

In scalar context, C<properties()> just returns the I<first> 
C<Net::Amazon::Property> object found.
Commonly available accessors to C<Net::Amazon::Property> objects are
C<OurPrice()>,
C<ImageUrlLarge()>,
C<ImageUrlMedium()>,
C<ImageUrlSmall()>,
C<ReleaseDate()>,
C<Catalog()>,
C<Asin()>,
C<url()>,
C<Manufacturer()>,
C<UsedPrice()>,
C<ListPrice()>,
C<ProductName()>,
C<Availability()>,
C<SalesRank()>,
C<CollectiblePrice()>,
C<CollectibleCount()>,
C<NumberOfOfferings()>,
C<UsedCount()>,
C<ThirdPartyNewPrice()>,
C<ThirdPartyNewCount()>,
C<similar_asins()>.
For details, check L<Net::Amazon::Property>.

Also, the specialized classes C<Net::Amazon::Property::Book> and
C<Net::Amazon::Property::Music> feature convenience methods like
C<authors()> (returning the list of authors of a book) or 
C<album()> for CDs, returning the album title.

Customer reviews:
Every property features a C<review_set()> method which returns a
C<Net::Amazon::Attribute::ReviewSet> object, which in turn offers
a list of C<Net::Amazon::Attribute::Review> objects. Check the respective
man pages for details on what's available.

=head2 Requests behind the scenes

C<Net::Amazon>'s C<search()> method is just a convenient way to 
create different kinds of request objects behind the scenes and
trigger them to send requests to Amazon.

Depending on the parameters fed to the C<search> method, C<Net::Amazon> will
determine the kind of search requested and create one of the following
request objects:

=over 4

=item Net::Amazon::Request::ASIN

Search by ASIN, mandatory parameter C<asin>. 
Returns at most one result.

=item Net::Amazon::Request::Actor

Music search by Actor, mandatory parameter "actor". Can return many results.

=item Net::Amazon::Request::Artist

Music search by Artist, mandatory parameter C<artist>.
Can return many results.

=item Net::Amazon::Request::All

'All' search on a keyword, mandatory parameter C<all>.
Can return many results.

=item Net::Amazon::Request::Author

Music search by Author, mandatory parameter "author". Can return many results.

=item Net::Amazon::Request::BrowseNode

Returns category (node) listing. Mandatory parameters C<browsenode>
(must be numeric) and C<mode>. Can return many results.

=item Net::Amazon::Request::Keyword

Keyword search, mandatory parameters C<keyword> and C<mode>.
Can return many results.

=item Net::Amazon::Request::UPC

Music search by UPC (product barcode), mandatory parameter C<upc>.
C<mode> has to be set to C<music>. Returns at most one result.

=item Net::Amazon::Request::Blended

'Blended' search on a keyword, resulting in matches across the board.
No 'mode' parameter is allowed. According to Amazon's developer's kit, 
this will result in up to three matches per category and can yield
a total of 45 matches.

=item Net::Amazon::Request::Power

Understands power search strings. See L<Net::Amazon::Request::Power>
for details. Mandatory parameter C<power>.

=item Net::Amazon::Request::Manufacturer

Searches for all items made by a given manufacturer. Mandatory parameter
C<manufacturer>.  With the change to AWS4, manufacturer is no longer used to
search for publishers.  To search via publisher use
Net::Amazon::Request::Publisher.

=item Net::Amazon::Request::Publisher

Searches for all items made by a given manufacturer. Mandatory
parameter C<publisher>.

=item Net::Amazon::Request::Similar

Finds items similar to a given one.

=item Net::Amazon::Request::Wishlist

Find item on someone's wish list.

=item Net::Amazon::Request::Seller

Searches for a third-party seller on Amazon by seller ID. This search
is different than the previous ones, since it doesn't return Amazon
items, but a single seller record. Don't use the C<properties()> method
on the response, use C<result()> instead, which returns a 
L<Net::Amazon::Result::Seller> object. Check the manpage for details.

=item Net::Amazon::Request::Exchange

Searches for items offered by third-party sellers. Items are referenced
by their so-called I<Exchange ID>.
Similar to L<Net::Amazon::Request::Seller>,
this request doesn't return a list of Amazon properties, so please use
C<result()> instead, which will return a I<single>
L<Net::Amazon::Result::Seller::Listing> item.
Check the manpage for details on what attributes are available there.

=back

Check the respective man pages for details on these request objects.
Request objects are typically created like this (with a Keyword query
as an example):

    my $req = Net::Amazon::Request::Keyword->new(
        keyword   => 'perl',
	mode      => 'books',
    );

and are handed over to the user agent like that:

    # Response is of type Net::Amazon::Response::ASIN
  my $resp = $ua->request($req);

The convenient C<search()> method just does these two steps in one.

=head2 METHODS

=over 4

=item $ua = Net::Amazon->new(token => $token, secret_key => $key, ...)

Create a new Net::Amazon useragent. C<$token> is the value of 
the mandatory Amazon developer's token, which can be obtained from
L<http://aws.amazon.com>.

By 2009-08-15 Amazon will require that all requests be signed with an Amazon
assigned Secret Key.  The Secret Key can be obtained from
L<http://aws.amazon.com>.

Additional optional parameters:

=over 4

=item C<< max_pages => $max_pages >>

Sets how many 
result pages the module is supposed to fetch back from Amazon, which
only sends back 10 results per page.  
Since each page requires a new query to Amazon, at most one query 
per second will be made in C<strict> mode to comply with Amazon's terms 
of service. This will impact performance if you perform a search 
returning many pages of results.

=item C<< strict => 1 >>

Makes sure that C<Net::Amazon> complies with Amazon's terms of service
by limiting the number of outgoing requests to 1 per second. Defaults
to C<1>, enabling rate limiting as defined via C<rate_limit>.

=item C<< rate_limit => $reqs_per_sec >>

Sets the rate limit to C<$reqs_per_sec> requests per second if 
rate limiting has been enabled with C<strict> (see above).
Defaults to C<1>, limiting the number of outgoing requests to 
1 per second.

=item C<< $resp = $ua->request($request) >>

Sends a request to the Amazon web service. C<$request> is of a 
C<Net::Amazon::Request::*> type and C<$response> will be of the 
corresponding C<Net::Amazon::Response::*> type.

=back 

=back 

=head2 Modes

Every search method takes a mode parameter.  The mode parameter is used to
narrow the search to a specific field.  For example, when searching by actor
you can search by DVD, DigitalMusic, Merchants, VHS, and Video.  By default DVD
is used when searching by actor.  The modes available are dependent upon the
type of search, and locale the search is conducted in.

Determining the modes available to a search type are auto-generated from data
published by Amazon on their web site.  A man page is available for each type
of search.  The man page lists the default value if a mode is not specified.  A
list of mode values is also provided.  The man page's name is of the form
Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch::E<lt>localeE<gt>::E<lt>typeE<gt>.

E<lt>localeE<gt> is one of any ca, de, fr, jp, uk, or us.

E<lt>typeE<gt> is one of Actor, Artist, Author, BrowseNode, Director, Keywords,
Manufacturer, MusicLabel, Power, Publisher, TextStream, or UPC.

=head2 Accessing foreign Amazon Catalogs

As of this writing (01/2007), Amazon also offers its web service for the UK,
Germany, Canada, France, and Japan. Just pass in

    locale => 'ca'
    locale => 'de'
    locale => 'fr'
    locale => 'jp'
    locale => 'uk'
    locale => 'us'

respectively to C<Net::Amazon>'s constructor C<new()> and instead of returning
results sent by the US mothership, it will query the particular country's
catalog and show prices in (gack!) local currencies.

=head2 EXAMPLE

Here's a full-fledged example doing a artist search:

    use Net::Amazon;
    use Net::Amazon::Request::Artist;
    use Data::Dumper;

    die "usage: $0 artist\n(use Zwan as an example)\n"
        unless defined $ARGV[0];

    my $ua = Net::Amazon->new(
        token      => 'YOUR_AMZN_TOKEN',
        secret_key => 'YOUR_AMZN_SECRET_KEY',
    );

    my $req = Net::Amazon::Request::Artist->new(
        artist  => $ARGV[0],
    );

       # Response is of type Net::Amazon::Artist::Response
    my $resp = $ua->request($req);

    if($resp->is_success()) {
        print $resp->as_string, "\n";
    } else {
        print $resp->message(), "\n";
    }

And here's one displaying someone's wishlist:

    use Net::Amazon;
    use Net::Amazon::Request::Wishlist;

    die "usage: $0 wishlist_id\n" .
        "(use 1XL5DWOUFMFVJ as an example)\n" unless $ARGV[0];

    my $ua = Net::Amazon->new(
        token      => 'YOUR_AMZN_TOKEN',
        secret_key => 'YOUR_AMZN_SECRET_KEY',
    );

    my $req = Net::Amazon::Request::Wishlist->new(
        id  => $ARGV[0]
    );

       # Response is of type Net::Amazon::ASIN::Response
    my $resp = $ua->request($req);

    if($resp->is_success()) {
        print $resp->as_string, "\n";
    } else {
        print $resp->message(), "\n";
    }

DETAILS
        Net::Amazon is based on Amazon Web Services version 4, and uses
        WSDL version 2009-07-01.

=head1 CACHING

Responses returned by Amazon's web service can be cached locally.
C<Net::Amazon>'s C<new> method accepts a reference to a C<Cache>
object. C<Cache> (or one of its companions like C<Cache::Memory>,
C<Cache::File>, etc.) can be downloaded from CPAN, please check their
documentation for details. In fact, any other type of cache
implementation will do as well, see the requirements below.

Here's an example utilizing a file cache which causes C<Net::Amazon> to
cache responses for 30 minutes:

    use Cache::File;

    my $cache = Cache::File->new( 
        cache_root        => '/tmp/mycache',
        default_expires   => '30 min',
    );

    my $ua = Net::Amazon->new(
        token       => 'YOUR_AMZN_TOKEN',
        secret_key  => 'YOUR_AMZN_SECRET_KEY',
        cache       => $cache,
    );

C<Net::Amazon> uses I<positive> caching only, errors won't be cached. 
Erroneous requests will be sent to Amazon every time. Positive cache 
entries are keyed by the full URL used internally by requests submitted 
to Amazon.

Caching isn't limited to the C<Cache> class. Any cache object which
adheres to the following interface can be used:

        # Set a cache value
    $cache->set($key, $value);

        # Return a cached value, 'undef' if it doesn't exist
    $cache->get($key);

=head1 PROXY SETTINGS

C<Net::Amazon> uses C<LWP::UserAgent> under the hood to send
web requests to Amazon's web site. If you're in an environment where
all Web traffic goes through a proxy, there's two ways to configure that.

First, C<Net::Amazon> picks up proxy settings from environment variables:

    export http_proxy=http://proxy.my.place:8080

in the surrounding shell or setting

    $ENV{http_proxy} = "http://proxy.my.place:8080";

in your Perl script
will route all requests through the specified proxy.

Secondly, you can
pass a user agent instance to Net::Amazon's constructor:

    use Net::Amazon;
    use LWP::UserAgent;

    my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
    my $na = Net::Amazon->new(
	ua         => $ua, 
	token      => 'YOUR_AMZN_TOKEN',
        secret_key => 'YOUR_AMZN_SECRET_KEY',
    );
    # ...

This way, you can configure C<$ua> up front before Net::Amazon will use it.

=head1 DEBUGGING

If something's going wrong and you want more verbosity, just bump up
C<Net::Amazon>'s logging level. C<Net::Amazon> comes with C<Log::Log4perl>
statements embedded, which are disabled by default. However, if you initialize 
C<Log::Log4perl>, e.g. like

    use Net::Amazon;
    use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy);

    Log::Log4perl->easy_init($DEBUG);
    my Net::Amazon->new();
    # ...

you'll see what's going on behind the scenes, what URLs the module 
is requesting from Amazon and so forth. Log::Log4perl allows all kinds
of fancy stuff, like writing to a file or enabling verbosity in certain
parts only -- check http://log4perl.sourceforge.net for details.

=head1 LIVE TESTING

Results returned by Amazon can be incomplete or simply wrong at times,
due to their "best effort" design of the service. This is why the test
suite that comes with this module has been changed to perform its test
cases against canned data. If you want to perform the tests against
the live Amazon servers instead, just set the environment variable

    NET_AMAZON_LIVE_TESTS=1

=head1 WHY ISN'T THERE SUPPORT FOR METHOD XYZ?

Because nobody wrote it yet. If Net::Amazon doesn't yet support a method
advertised on Amazon's web service, you could help us out. Net::Amazon
has been designed to be expanded over time, usually it only takes a couple
of lines to support a new method, the rest is done via inheritance within
Net::Amazon.

Here's the basic plot:

=over 4

=item *

Get Net::Amazon from CVS. Use

        # (Just hit enter when prompted for a password)
    cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.net-amazon.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/net-amazon login
    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.net-amazon.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/net-amazon co Net-Amazon

If this doesn't work, just use the latest distribution from 
net-amazon.sourceforge.net.

=item *

Write a new Net::Amazon::Request::XYZ package, start with this template

    ######################################
    package Net::Amazon::Request::XYZ;
    ######################################
    use base qw(Net::Amazon::Request);

    ######################################
    sub new {
    ######################################
        my($class, %options) = @_;

        if(!exists $options{XYZ_option}) {
            die "Mandatory parameter 'XYZ_option' not defined";
        }

        my $self = $class->SUPER::new(%options);

        bless $self, $class;   # reconsecrate
    }

and add documentation. Then, create a new Net::Amazon::Response::XYZ module:

    ##############################
    package Net::Amazon::Response;
    ##############################
    use base qw(Net::Amazon::Response);

    use Net::Amazon::Property;

    ##############################
    sub new {
    ##############################
        my($class, %options) = @_;

        my $self = $class->SUPER::new(%options);

        bless $self, $class;   # reconsecrate
    }

and also add documentation to it. Then, add the line

    use Net::Amazon::Request::XYZ;

to Net/Amazon.pm.

=back

And that's it! Again, don't forget the I<add documentation> part. Modules
without documentation are of no use to anybody but yourself. 

Check out the different Net::Amazon::Request::*
and Net::Amazon::Response modules in the distribution if you need to adapt
your new module to fulfil any special needs, like a different Amazon URL
or a different way to handle the as_string() method. Also, post
and problems you might encounter to the mailing list, we're gonna help you
out.

If possible, provide a test case for your extension. When finished, send 
a patch to the mailing list at 

   net-amazon-devel@lists.sourceforge.net

and if it works, I'll accept it and will work it into the main distribution.
Your name will show up in the contributor's list below (unless you tell
me otherwise).

=head2 SAMPLE SCRIPTS

There's a number of useful scripts in the distribution's eg/ directory.
Take C<power> for example, written by Martin Streicher 
E<lt>martin.streicher@apress.comE<gt>: I lets you perform 
a I<power search> using Amazon's query language. To search for all books 
written by Randal Schwartz about Perl, call this from the command line:

    power 'author: schwartz subject: perl'

Note that you need to quote the query string to pass it as one argument
to C<power>. If a power search returns more results than you want to
process at a time, just limit the number of pages, telling C<power>
which page to start at (C<-s>) and which one to finish with (C<-f>).
Here's a search for all books on the subject C<computer>, limited
to the first 10 pages:

    power -s 1 -f 10 'subject: computer'

Check out the script C<power> in eg/ for more options.

=head2 HOW TO SEND ME PATCHES

If you want me to include your modification or enhancement 
in the distribution of Net::Amazon, please do the following:

=over 4

=item *

Work off the latest CVS version. Here's the steps to get it:

    CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.net-amazon.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/net-amazon
    export CVSROOT
    cvs login (just hit Enter)
    cvs co Net-Amazon

This will create a new C<Net-Amazon> directory with the latest 
development version of C<Net::Amazon> on your local machine.

=item *

Apply your changes to this development tree.

=item *

Run a diff between the tree and your changes it in this way:

    cd Net-Amazon
    cvs diff -Nau >patch_to_christopher.txt

=item *

Email me C<patch_to_christopher.txt>. If your patch works (and you've included
test cases and documentation), I'll apply it on the spot.

=back

=head1 INSTALLATION

C<Net::Amazon> depends on Log::Log4perl, which can be pulled from CPAN by
simply saying

    perl -MCPAN -eshell 'install Log::Log4perl'

Also, it needs LWP::UserAgent and XML::Simple 2.x, which can be obtained 
in a similar way.

Once all dependencies have been resolved, C<Net::Amazon> installs with
the typical sequence

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    make install

Make sure you're connected to the Internet while running C<make test>
because it will actually contact amazon.com and run a couple of live tests.

The module's distribution tarball and documentation are available at

    http://perlmeister.com/devel/#amzn 

and on CPAN.

=head1 SEE ALSO

The following modules play well within the C<Net::Amazon> framework:

=over 4

=item C<Net::Amazon::RemoteCart>

by David Emery E<lt>dave@skiddlydee.comE<gt> provides a complete API for
creating Amazon shopping carts on a local site, managing them and finally 
submitting them to Amazon for checkout. It is available on CPAN.

=back

=head1 CONTACT

The C<Net::Amazon> project's home page is hosted on 

    http://net-amazon.sourceforge.net

where you can find documentation, news and the latest development and
stable releases for download. If you have questions about how to
use C<Net::Amazon>, want to report a bug or just participate in its
development, please send a message to the mailing 
list net-amazon-devel@lists.sourceforge.net

The source code has moved from sourceforge.net to github.com.  The git URL is

    git://github.com/boumenot/p5-Net-Amazon.git

The hope is that github.com makes collaboration much easier, and git is 
a much more modern SCM tool.
