NAME

Net::Twitter::Role::WrapError - Wraps Net::Twitter exceptions

VERSION

version 4.01043

SYNOPSIS

    use Net::Twitter;

    my $nt = Net::Twitter->new(username => $username, password => $password);

    my $followers = $nt->followers;
    if ( !followers ) {
        warn $nt->http_message;
    }

DESCRIPTION

This module provides an alternate error handling strategy for "Net::Twitter". Rather than throwing exceptions, API methods return "undef" and error information is available through method calls on the "Net::Twitter" object.

This is the error handling strategy used when "trait" "Legacy" is used. It was the error handling strategy employed by "Net::Twitter" prior to version 3.00.

METHODS

new: This method takes the same parameters as "new" in Net::Twitter.
get_error: Returns undef if there was no error or a HASH ref containing the Twitter error response. Occasionally, a Twitter API call results in an error with no error content returned from Twitter. When that occurs, get_error returns a simulated error HASH ref.
NOTE: Versions of "Net::Twitter" prior to 3.0 sometimes returned a string rather than a HASH ref, on error. This was a bug. Always expect undef on success and a HASH ref on error.
http_code: Returns the HTTP response code the most recent API method call if it ended in error.
http_message: Returns the HTTP message for the most recent API method call if it ended in error.
