# DESCRIPTION

beta beta beta.  Interface is subject to change.

This is a very thin wrapper around the Reddit OAuth API.

# CONSTRUCTOR AND STARTUP

## new

- `access_token`

    A (once) valid OAuth access token.  It's ok if it has expired.

- `app_key`

    The key which Reddit has assigned to your app.

- `app_secret`

    The secret which Reddit has assigned to your app.

- `refresh_token`

    A valid `refresh_token` which the Reddit API has provided.

- `ua`

    Optional.  A useragent of the [LWP::UserAgent](https://metacpan.org/pod/LWP::UserAgent) family.

- `base_uri`

    Optional.  Provide only if you want to route your requests somewhere other than
    the Reddit OAuth endpoint.

## get

Accepts a relative URL path and an optional HashRef of params.  Returns a
[WebService::Reddit::Response](https://metacpan.org/pod/WebService::Reddit::Response) object.

    my $me = $client->get('/api/v1/me');
    my $new_posts = $client->get( '/r/perl/new', { limit => 25 } );

## delete

Accepts a relative URL path and an optional HashRef of params.  Returns a
[WebService::Reddit::Response](https://metacpan.org/pod/WebService::Reddit::Response) object.

    my $delete = $client->delete(
        '/api/v1/me/friends/randomusername',
        { id => 'someid' }
    );

## post

Accepts a relative URL path and an optional HashRef of params.  Returns a
[WebService::Reddit::Response](https://metacpan.org/pod/WebService::Reddit::Response) object.

    my $post = $reddit->post(
        '/api/search_reddit_names',
        { exact => 1, query => 'perl' }
    );

## access\_token

Returns the current `access_token`.  This may not be the token which you
originally supplied.  If your supplied token has been expired, then this module
will try to get you a fresh `access_token`.

## access\_token\_expiration

Returns expiration time of access token in epoch seconds, if available.  Check
the predicate before calling this method in order to avoid a possible
exception.

    print $client->access_token_expiration
        if $client->has_access_token_expiration .

## has\_access\_token\_expiration

Predicate.  Returns true if `access_token_expiration` has been set.

## refresh\_access\_token

Tries to refresh the `access_token`.  Returns true on success and dies on
failure.  Use the `access_token` method to get the new token if this method
has returned `true`.

## ua

Returns the UserAgent which is being used to make requests.  Defaults to a
[WWW::Mechanize](https://metacpan.org/pod/WWW::Mechanize) object.
