Net::Am...est::EAN(3)

💖 Net::Am...est::EAN(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a Perl man page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (that's the section 3 situation, iykyk), and it's all about hunting down stuff on Amazon using an EAN number. no cap. let's get into it 🛍️✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Net::Amazon::Request::EAN — it's the request class for EAN search. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "I have a barcode number and I need to know what it IS" 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole thing, verbatim, because you're gonna wanna copy this:

use Net::Amazon;
use Net::Amazon::Request::EAN;

my $ua = Net::Amazon->new(
    token       => 'YOUR_AMZN_TOKEN'
);

my $req = Net::Amazon::Request::EAN->new(
    ean => '5035822647633',
);

  # Response is of type Net::Amazon::Response::EAN
my $resp = $ua->request($req);

like. you make a Net::Amazon object with your token, you make the request object with an ean, and boom — the response comes back as a Net::Amazon::Response::EAN. iconic behaviour fr fr 🫶

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Net::Amazon::Request::EAN is a class used to submit EAN search requests to the Amazon web service. that's its whole job. main character energy, honestly.

the EAN number you're searching for gets specified in the EAN parameter. simple as.

upon success (the good ending ✨), the response's properties() method will return a single Net::Amazon::Property object. one object. that's it. she's exclusive 💅

and now for the tea ☕ — according to the Amazon E-Commerce Service Developer's Guide (dated 2007-01-15), EAN searches are only valid in DE, JP, and CA only. and the author is here to tell you: this is patently false. their read is that it's a documentation bug, and it's actually valid for non-US only. so like, don't trust the docs on this one, bestie 😭

🔥 METHODS 🔥

• new(ean => $ean) — constructs a new Net::Amazon::Request::EAN object, used to query the Amazon web service for an item with the given EAN number. that's the constructor, that's the move, that's the whole plan 🧚

reminder bestie: the EAN thing is "DE, JP, and CA only" per the 2007-01-15 guide, but the author says that's a docs bug and it's really non-US only. both of those facts stay. we don't pick favourites here 💀
