NAME
WebService::Bluga::Webthumb - fetch website thumbnails via
webthumb.bluga.net
SYNOPSIS
use WebService::Bluga::Webthumb;
my $wt = WebService::Bluga::Webthumb->new(
user => $user_id,
api_key => $api_key,
size => $size, # small, medium, medium2, large (default: medium)
cache => $cache_days, # optional - default 14
);
# get a thumbnail URL using the default settings
my $thumb_url = wt->thumb_url($url);
# Get a thumbnail URL overriding some settings:
my $thumb_url = $wt->thumb_url($url, { size => 'large' });
Class methods
new Create a new WebService::Bluga::Webthumb object. Takes the following
params:
user
Your webthumb user ID, available from your
http://webthumb.bluga.net/user page.
api_key
Your webthumb API key. also available from your user page. (This
is used to construct the hash of the thumbnail URL, but not sent
directly.)
size
The size of the thumbnail to generate. Size can be:
* small - 80x60
* medium - 160x120
* medium2 - 320x240
* large - 640x480
cache
How many days a generated thumbnail can be cached on the
webthumb servers before a fresh one is generated. Generating a
thumbnail uses a credit whereas serving up a cached one uses a
fraction of a credit, so don't set this too low.
If not specified, defaults to 14 days.
Instance methods
thumb_url
Given an URL, and optionally size' / cache' params to override
those from the object, returns an URL to the thumbnail, to use in an
IMG tag.
easy_thumb
An alias for `thumb_url'. This name was used in 0.01 to reflect the
fact that it used the EasyThumb API rather than the full API;
however, I think `thumb_url' is rather clearer as to the actual
purpose of the method, and the implementation of it is somewhat
unimportant, so consider this method somewhat deprecated (but likely
to be supported indefinitely.)
