SYNOPSIS
use WebService::ILS::OverDrive::Patron;
DESCRIPTION
These services require individual user credentials. See "WebService::ILS INDIVIDUAL USER AUTHENTICATION AND METHODS" See WebService::ILS::OverDrive
CONSTRUCTOR
new (%params_hash or $params_hashref) Additional constructor params: "auth_token" => auth token as previously obtained
INDIVIDUAL USER AUTHENTICATION METHODS
auth_by_user_id ($user_id, $password, $website_id, $authorization_name) "website_id" and "authorization_name" (domain) are provided by OverDrive Returns (access_token, access_token_type) or access_token Authentication at OverDrive - Granted or "3-Legged" Authorization With OverDrive there's an extra step - an auth code is returned to the redirect back handler that needs to make an API call to convert it into a auth token. An example: my $overdrive = WebService::ILS::OverDrive::Patron({ client_id => $client_id, client_secret => $client_secret, library_id => $library_id, }); my $redirect_url = $overdrive->auth_url("http://myapp.com/overdrive-auth"); $response->redirect($redirect_url); ... /overdrive-auth handler: my $auth_code = $req->param( $overdrive->auth_code_param_name ) or some_error_handling(), return; # my $state = $req->param( $overdrive->state_token_param_name )... local $@; eval { $overdrive->auth_by_code( $auth_code ) }; if ($@) { some_error_handling(); return; } $session{overdrive_access_token} = $access_token; $session{overdrive_access_token_type} = $access_token_type; $session{overdrive_auth_token} = $auth_token; ... Somewhere else in your app: my $ils = WebService::ILS::Provider({ client_id => $client_id, client_secret => $client_secret, access_token => $session{overdrive_access_token}, access_token_type => $session{overdrive_access_token_type}, auth_token = $session{overdrive_auth_token} }); my $checkouts = $overdrive->checkouts; auth_url ($redirect_uri, $state_token) Input params: "redirect_uri" => return url which will handle redirect back after auth "state_token" => a token that is returned back unchanged; for additional security; not required auth_code_param_name () state_token_param_name () auth_by_code ($provider_code, $redirect_uri) Returns (access_token, access_token_type, auth_token) or access_token auth_by_token ($provider_token) Returns (access_token, access_token_type, auth_token) or access_token
CIRCULATION METHOD SPECIFICS
Differences to general WebService::ILS interface place_hold ($item_id, $notification_email_address, $auto_checkout) $notification_email_address and $auto_checkout are optional. $auto_checkout defaults to false. Returns holds item record It is preferred that the $notification_email_address is specified. If $auto_checkout is set to true, the item will be checked out as soon as it becomes available. checkouts () For formats see "checkout_formats()" below checkout ($item_id, $format, $allow_multiple_format_checkouts) $format and $allow_multiple_format_checkouts are optional. $allow_multiple_format_checkouts defaults to false. Returns checkout item record An item can be available in multiple formats. Checkout is complete only when the format is specified. Checkout can be actioned without format being specified. In that case an early return can be actioned. To complete checkout format must be locked later (see lock_format() below). That would be the case with place_hold() with $auto_checkout set to true. Once format is locked, an early return is not possible. If $allow_multiple_format_checkouts flag is set to true, multiple formats of the same item can be acioned. If it is false (default) and the item was already checked out, the checked out item record will be returned regardless of the format. Checkout record will have an extra field "format" if format is locked in. checkout_formats ($item_id) Returns a hashref of available title formats and immediate availability { format => available, ... } If format is not immediately available it must be locked first lock_format ($item_id, $format) Returns locked format (should be the same as the input value) checkout_download_url ($item_id, $format, $error_url, $success_url) Returns OverDrive download url Checked out items must be downloaded by users on the OverDrive site. This method returns the url where the user should be sent to (redirected). Once the download is complete, user will be redirected back to $error_url in case of an error, otherwise to optional $success_url if specified. See <https://developer.overdrive.com/apis/download>
