SYNOPSIS
my $owid = WebService::OurWorldInData->new({
proxy => '...', # your web proxy
});
my $search = $owid->search( q => 'star', fl => 'bibcode' );
DESCRIPTION
This is a base class for Our World in Data APIs. You probably should be
using the WebService::OurWorldInData::Chart class.
Getting Started
Documentation for Chart API
Proxies
The UA gets the proxy from your environment variable _or_ create a
HTTP::Tiny object with the {all_proxy => "proxy url"} attribute and
pass that to the ua attribute of the API constructor
$tiny_ua = HTTP::Tiny->new({all_proxy => "http://proxy.url"});
$client = WebService::OurWorldInData->new({ ua => $tiny_ua });
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I am stealing from Neil Bowers' WebService::HackerNews to learn how he
does APIs with HTTP::Tiny. This is a re-write from my first version in
Mojo. Any mistakes, of course, are mine.
