NAME OpenGbg - An interface to the Open Data API of Gothenburg SYNOPSIS use OpenGbg; my $opengbg = OpenGbg->new(key => 'secret-api-key'); $response = $opengbg->styr_och_stall->get_bike_stations; print $response->stations->get_by_index(0)->to_text; DESCRIPTION OpenGbg is a way to connect to and use the open data published by the city of Gothenburg . The open data homepage is located at . All official documentation is in Swedish, but the license agreement is published in English here . To use the API you need to get a free api key. METHOD new() Takes an optional key-value pair, the key is "key" and the value your api key, see authenticate. Returns a OpenGbg::Handler object on which you then call the services. AUTHENTICATE Once you have your api key you can use it in two different ways: 1. You can give it in the constructor: my $opengbg = OpenGbg->new(key => 'secret-api-key'); 2. You can save it in a file named ".opengbg.ini" in your homedir: [API] key = secret-api-key SERVICES The following services are currently implemented in this distribution: AirQuality - Data on air quality StyrOchStall - Data on rent-a-bike stations NAMING Most names related to the services are de-camelized, while others are lower-cased (no underscores). For example, the service 'GetBikeStations' is called like this: my $gbg = OpenGbg->new; my $stations = $gbg->get_bike_stations; All calls to services are prefixed with 'get' even if the service isn't named that way. On the other hand, the 'service' suffix on some services are removed. Date/time intervals are always called 'start' and 'end' (in the web services they are sometimes called 'start' and 'stop').
