provides an easy object oriented front end to access Amateur Radio callsign data from the QRZ.COM online database. This module uses the QRZ XML Database Service, which requires a subscription from QRZ.COM. The QRZ XML Database Service specification states "The data supplied by the XML port may be extended in a forwardly compatible manner. New XML elements and database objects (with their associated elements) may be transmitted at any time. It is the developers responsibility to have their program ignore any unrecognized objects and/or elements without raising an error, so long as the information received consists of properly formatted XML." Therefore, this module will not attempt to list or manage individual elements of a callsign. You will need to inspect the hash reference keys to see which elements are available for any given callsign, as demonstrated in the synopsis. This module does not handle any management of reusing session keys at this time. =head1 CONSTRUCTOR =head2 new() Usage : my $qrz = Ham::Reference::QRZ->new; Function : creates a new Ham::Reference::QRZ object Returns : a Ham::Reference::QRZ object Args : a hash: key required? value ------- --------- ----- timeout no an integer of seconds to wait for the timeout of the xml site default = 10 callsign no you may specify a callsign to look up here, or you may do it later with the set_callsign() method username no you may specify a username to log in with here, or you may do it later with the set_username() method password no you may specify a password to log in with here, or you may do it later with the set_password() method key no set a session key here if you have a valid key so that no time is wasted doing another login. only useful if you are managing the reuse of your own keys =head1 METHODS =head2 set_callsign() Usage : $qrz->set_callsign( $callsign ); Function : set the callsign to look up at QRZ Returns : n/a Args : a case-insensitive string containing an Amateur Radio callsign. Notes : calling this will reset the listing and bio data to null until you do another get_listing() or get_bio(), respectively. =head2 set_username() Usage : $qrz->set_username( $username ); Function : set the username for your QRZ subscriber login Returns : n/a Args : a string =head2 set_password() Usage : $qrz->set_password( $password ); Function : set the password for your QRZ subscriber login Returns : n/a Args : a string =head2 set_key() Usage : $qrz->set_key( $session_key ); Function : set a session key for retrieving data at QRZ Returns : n/a Args : a string Notes : this is useful only if you already have a valid key before the first login during a particular instance of the module. =head2 set_timeout() Usage : $qrz->set_timeout( $seconds ); Function : sets the number of seconds to wait on the xml server before timing out Returns : n/a Args : an integer =head2 get_listing() Usage : $hashref = $qrz->get_listing; Function : retrieves data for the standard listing of a callsign from QRZ Returns : a hash reference Args : n/a Notes : if a session key has not already been set, this method will automatically login. if a there is already listing information set from a previous lookup, this will just return that data. call a new set_callsign() if you need to refresh the data with a new call to the qrz database. =head2 get_bio() Usage : $hashref = $qrz->get_bio; Function : retrieves data for the biography of a callsign from QRZ Returns : a hash reference Args : n/a Notes : if a session key has not already been set, this method will automatically login. if a there is already biographical information set from a previous lookup, this will just return that data. call a new set_callsign() if you need to refresh the data with a new call to the qrz database. this method only retrieves the meta information about the bio. call get_bio_file to get the actual contents of the bio. =head2 get_bio_file() Usage : $scalar = $qrz->get_bio_file; Function : retrieves the full biography of a callsign from QRZ, if any is available Returns : a scalar Args : n/a Notes : if the get_bio method has not been called yet, it will be called first to get the url for the bio file. any html entities in the contents of the bio will be converted to plain text, and all html will be stripped. hard line breaks will be left in place. suggestions are welcome on how this data might better be filtered. =head2 get_dxcc() Usage : $hashref = $qrz->get_dxcc; Function : retrieves DXCC information for a callsign from QRZ Returns : a hash reference Args : n/a Notes : if a session key has not already been set, this method will automatically login. if a there is already dxcc information set from a previous lookup, this will just return that data. call a new set_callsign() if you need to refresh the data with a new call to the qrz database. =head2 get_arrl_section() Usage : $scalar = $qrz->get_arrl_section; Function : returns ARRL Section information for a callsign Returns : a scalar Args : n/a Notes : if get listing has not yet been called, it will call get_listing to get state and county. this method gets its data internally, and does not query the qrz xml server. =head2 login() Usage : $session = $qrz->login; Function : initiates a login to the QRZ xml server Returns : a hash reference of the session data Args : n/a Notes : this generally shouldn't need to be used since the get_listing() and get_bio() methods will automatically initiate a login to the server if it hasn't already been done. =head2 get_session() Usage : $session = $qrz->get_session; Function : retrieves the session information from the most recent call to the XML site Returns : a hash reference of the session data Args : n/a =head2 is_error() Usage : if ( $qrz->is_error ) Function : test for an error if one was returned from the call to the XML site Returns : a true value if there has been an error Args : n/a =head2 error_message() Usage : my $err_msg = $qrz->error_message; Function : if there was an error message when trying to call the XML site, this is it Returns : a string (the error message) Args : n/a =head1 DEPENDENCIES =over 4 =item * L =item * L =item * L =item * An Internet connection =item * A QRZ.COM subscription that includes access to the QRZ XML Database Service =back =head1 TODO =over 4 =item * Session key reuse between instances (maybe). =item * Look into any escaping or filtering of data that would be helpful, particularly with regard to get_bio_file(). =back =head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks to Thomas Schaefer NY4I for the idea, original code, and data for the ARRL Section additions!
