Yahoo::Search::Request(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Yahoo::Search::Request(3pm)
NAME
Yahoo::Search::Request -- Container object for a Yahoo! Search request. (This package is
included in, and automatically loaded by, the Yahoo::Search package.)
Package Use
You never need to "use" this package directly -- it is loaded automatically by
Yahoo::Search.
Object Creation
In practice, this class is generally not dealt with explicitly, but rather implicitly via
functions in Yahoo::Search such as "Query" and "Links", which build and use a "Request"
object under the hood.
You also have access to the "Request" object via "Request()" method of resulting
"Response" and "Result" objects.
To be clear, "Request" objects are created by the "Request()" method of a Search Engine
object (Yahoo::Search).
Methods
A "Request" object provides the following methods:
$Request->Uri
Returns the URI::http object representing the url fetched (or to be fetched) from
Yahoo's Search servers. The url is actually fetched when the "Request" object's
"Fetch()" method is called.
Note that this does not reflect the fact that a request is changed to a POST when
request is sufficiently large. Thus, there are times when the url represented by the
URI::http object returned is not actually fetchable from the Yahoo! servers.
$Request->Url
Like the "Uri" method, but returns a string with the full url fetched (or to be
fetched).
Note that this does not reflect the fact that a request is changed to a POST when
request is sufficiently large. Thus, there are times when the url returned is not
actually fetchable from the Yahoo! servers.
$Request->SearchSpace
Returns the search space the request represents (Doc, Image, etc.)
$Request->SearchEngine
Returns the Yahoo::Search "search engine" object used in creating this request.
$Request->Fetch
Actually contact the Yahoo Search servers, returning a "Result"
(Yahoo::Search::Result) object.
$Request->RelatedRequest
$Request->RelatedResponse
Perform a Related request for search terms related to the query phrase of the current
request, returning the new "Request" or "Response" object, respectively.
Both return nothing if the current request is already for a Related search.
$Request->SpellRequest
$Request->SpellResponse
Perform a Spell request for a search term that may reflect proper spelling of the
query phrase of the current request, returning the new "Request" or "Response" object,
respectively.
Both return nothing if the current request is already for a Spell search.
