Etherpad - interact with Etherpad API

VERSION

version 1.2.14.0

SYNOPSIS

  use Etherpad;
  my $ec = Etherpad->new(
    url      => 'http://pad.example.org',
    apikey   => 'secret_etherpad_API_key',
    user     => 'http_user',
    password => 'http_password',
    proxy    => {
        http  => 'http://proxy.example.org',

  $ec->create_pad('new_pad_name');

DESCRIPTION

Client module for the Etherpad HTTP API.

The Etherpad API currently supported is the 1.2.13 (Etherpad version: 1.6.0)

This module aims to replace Etherpad::API

apikey

  my $apikey = $ec->apikey;
  $ec        = $ec->apikey('secret_etherpad_API_key');

MANDATORY. Secret API key, located in the APIKEY.txt file of your Etherpad installation directory, no default.

ua

  my $ua = $ec->ua;
  $ec    = $ec->ua(Mojo::UserAgent->new);

OPTIONAL. User agent, default to a Mojo::UserAgent. Please, don't use anything other than a Mojo::Useragent.

user

  my $user = $ec->user;
  $ec      = $ec->user('bender');

OPTIONAL. HTTP user, use it if your Etherpad is protected by a HTTP authentication, no default.

password

  my $password = $ec->password;
  $ec          = $ec->password('beer');

Session

Sessions can be created between a group and an author. This allows an author to access more than one group. The sessionID will be set as a cookie to the client and is valid until a certain date. The session cookie can also contain multiple comma-seperated sessionIDs, allowing a user to edit pads in different groups at the same time. Only users with a valid session for this group, can access group pads. You can create a session after you authenticated the user at your web application, to give them access to the pads. You should save the sessionID of this session and delete it after the user logged out.
