Flickr...equest(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Flickr::API::Request — bestie, it's literally just a request to the Flickr API. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

This is a Perl module, so it lives its life in the 3pm manual section, and it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so there are two whole ways to do this, and you gotta pick your fighter. 🥊

🦋 Using the OAuth form

use Flickr::API;
use Flickr::API::Request;

my $api = Flickr::API->new({'consumer_key' => 'your_api_key'});

my $request = Flickr::API::Request->new({
    'method' => $method,
    'args' => {},
});

my $response = $api->execute_request($request);

Note the 'consumer_key' up in there — that's the OAuth glow-up. ✨

🧚 Using the original Flickr form

use Flickr::API;
use Flickr::API::Request;

my $api = Flickr::API->new({'key' => 'your_api_key'});

my $request = Flickr::API::Request->new({
    'method' => $method,
    'args' => {},
});

my $response = $api->execute_request($request);

And here it's just 'key' — the classic, the OG, the original recipe. 🍓

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like, this object? It encapsulates a request to the Flickr API. Think of it as the little envelope you stuff all your request details into before it goes on its journey. 💌

Here's the tea though: Flickr::API::Request is a subclass of HTTP::Request, which means you have full main-character access to any of the request parameters and you can tweak them yourself. Do with that what you will. 💅

But listen — the content, the content-type header, and the content-length header? Those are all built from the 'args' list</> by the Flickr::API::execute_request() method. So don't be out here hand-crafting those, bestie, the method's got it handled. 🫶

This masterpiece of documentation was brought to you by perl v5.40.1, dated 2025-05-04, and the original title was giving Flickr...equest(3pm) (yes, truncated like that, iconic honestly 😭). Go forth and make requests. 🌈💖
