NAME
   WebService::Plotly - access plot.ly programmatically

VERSION
   version 1.132950

SYNOPSIS
       use WebService::Plotly;

       my $user = USERNAME_HERE;
       my $login = WebService::Plotly->signup( $user, EMAIL_HERE );
       warn "temp password is $login->{tmp_pw}";

       my $plotly = WebService::Plotly->new( un => $user, key => $login->{api_key} );

       my $x0 = [ 1,  2,  3,  4 ];
       my $y0 = [ 10, 15, 13, 17 ];
       my $x1 = [ 2,  3,  4,  5 ];
       my $y1 = [ 16, 5,  11, 9 ];
       my $response = $plotly->plot( $x0, $y0, $x1, $y1 );

       print "url is: $response->{url}";
       print "filename on our server is: $response->{filename}";

DESCRIPTION
   This module provides a smooth interface to the REST API of
   <http://plot.ly>. It will take both plain perl data as well as PDL
   objects and transform them as needed.

   Note that WS::Plotly caches the filename on the plotly server inside the
   object, so that further plot/style/layout calls can be used to modified
   an existing plot.

CONSTRUCTOR
   WS::Plotly uses a standard Moo constructor.

ATTRIBUTES
 un
   Expects a string containing the username to be sent to the API for
   authentification.

   Required attribute.

 key
   Expects a string containing the API key to be sent to the API for
   authentification.

   Required attribute.

 fileopt
   Expects a string containing options sent to the API with every data
   call, concerning usage of the filename parameter. See the bottom of
   <https://plot.ly/api/>.

 filename
   Expects a string containing options sent to the API with every data
   call, determining the name for the plot resulting of the call, or a name
   of the plot to be reused for this call.

 verbose
   Boolean that determines whether the server message (containing the plot
   url and filename) will be printed to the console. Defaults to 1.

METHODS
 version
   Returns the version of the API object, which will be sent to the API.

 my $response = $plotly->signup( $username, $email )
   Creates a new account on the server, if possible. Returns a hash
   containing the temporary password of the new account, as well as the api
   key.

  DATA CALLS
   All of these calls take arguments in this fashion:

       $plotly->plot( @data, %options );

   Beginning from the start of the argument list all elements will be
   slurped into a data array (they're generally expected to be array
   references or PDL objects) until the first scalar with a ref() value is
   reached.

   This is assumed to be a hash key and it along with all following scalars
   will be slurped into an option hash.

   This means that the data calls generally do not care if they are sent an
   array reference containing a list of data array referencess as the first
   argument, or a flat list of data array references.

   All of the data calls return a response hash containing the keys url,
   message, warning, filename and error. Normally only url and filename
   will be interesting to you; however message can contain extra
   information and will be printed if verbose is set to 1, warning can
   contain warnings from the server and is always printed with warn(),
   while a value in the error key triggers the module to die.

   These data calls exist and reading the documentation at the bottom of
   <https://plot.ly/api/> is recommended.

 plot
   This sends data to Plotly to be plotted and stored.

 style
   This call is used to style the data sets sent to the server with the
   plot call.

 layout
   This call customizes the style of the layout, the axes, and the legend.

THANKS
   Many thanks for Christopher Parmer specifically and Plotly, Inc. in
   general for providing much support and help in creating this module, as
   well as footing the bill for it.
