WebService::Pushover - interface to Pushover API

VERSION

This document describes WebService::Pushover version 1.0.0.

SYNOPSIS

use WebService::Pushover;

my $push = WebService::Pushover->new(
    user_token => 'PUSHOVER USER TOKEN',
    api_token  => 'PUSHOVER API TOKEN',
) or die( "Unable to instantiate WebService::Pushover.\n" );

my %params = (
    message  => 'test test test',
    priority => 0,
);

my $status = $push->message( %params );

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a Perl wrapper around the Pushover ( http://pushover.net ) RESTful API. You'll need to register with Pushover to obtain an API token for yourself and for your application before you'll be able to do anything with this module.

INTERFACE

new(%params)

Creates an object that allows for interaction with Pushover. The following are valid arguments; all are optional:
- base_url OPTIONAL
  
  Sets the base URL for the API to connect to. Defaults to http://api.pushover.net
- user_token OPTIONAL
  
  The Pushover user token, obtained by registering at http://pushover.net. If specified, will be used as a default in any call that requires a user token.
- api_token OPTIONAL
  
  The Pushover application token, obtained by registering at http://pushover.net/apps. If specified, will be used as a default in any call that requires an API token.
- debug OPTIONAL
  
  Set this to a true value in order to enable tracing of API call operations.
debug()

debug() returns 1 if debugging is enabled, and 0 otherwise.
message(%params)

message() sends a message to Pushover and returns a scalar reference representation of the message status. The following are valid parameters:
- token OPTIONAL
  
  The Pushover application token. If not specified, the api_token specified in new will be used.
- user OPTIONAL
  
  The Pushover user token. If not specified, the user_token specified in new will be used.
- device OPTIONAL
  
  The Pushover device name; if not supplied, the user will be validated if at least one device is registered to that user.
- title OPTIONAL
  
  A string that will appear as the title of the message; if not supplied, the name of the application registered to the application token will appear.
- message REQUIRED
  
  A string that will appear as the body of the message.
- timestamp OPTIONAL
  
  The desired message timestamp, in Unix epoch seconds.
- priority OPTIONAL
  
  Set this value to "2" to mark the message as emergency priority, "1" to mark the message as high priority, set it to "-1" to mark the message as low priority, or set it to "0" or leave it unset for standard priority.
- retry OPTIONAL
  
  You must pass this parameter when sending messages at emergency priority. Set this value to the number of seconds before Pushover tries again to obtain confirmation of message receipt.
- expire OPTIONAL
  
  You must pass this parameter when sending messages at emergency priority. Set this value to the number of seconds before Pushover stops trying to obtain confirmation of message receipt.
- url OPTIONAL
  
  A string that will be attached to the message as a supplementary URL.
- url_title OPTIONAL
  
  A string that will be displayed as the title of any supplementary URL.
- sound OPTIONAL
  
  Select a sound to be associated with this notification. Check the Pushover API documentation for valid values.
user(%params)

user() sends an application token and a user token to Pushover and returns a scalar reference representation of the validity of those tokens. The following are valid parameters:
- token OPTIONAL
  
  The Pushover application token. If not specified, the api_token specified in new will be used.
- user OPTIONAL
  
  The Pushover user token. If not specified, the user_token specified in new will be used.
- device OPTIONAL
  
  The Pushover device name; if not supplied, the message will go to all devices registered to the user token.
receipt(%params)

receipt() sends an application token and a receipt token to Pushover and returns a scalar reference representation of the confirmation status of the notification associated with the receipt. The following are valid parameters:
- token OPTIONAL
  
  The Pushover application token. If not specified, the api_token specified in new will be used.
- receipt REQUIRED
  
  The Pushover receipt token, obtained by parsing the output returned after sending a message with emergency priority.
sounds(%params)

sounds() sends an application token to Pushover and returns a hash reference listing the available sounds (suitable for passing to the sound parameter of the message(). The following are valid parameters:
- token OPTIONAL
  
  The Pushover application token. If not specified, the api_token specified in new will be used.

DEPRECATED METHODS

The following methods are depreated, and will be removed in a future release. They remain for now to provide backwards compatibility.

push(%params)

push() is a DEPRECATED alias for message().
tokens(%params)

DIAGNOSTICS

Inspect the value returned by any method, which will be a Perl data structure parsed from the JSON or XML response returned by the Pushover API.
