Social is implemented with Perl, you do not need to install itself to get it working, but it requires following CPAN modules to be installed:
- Encode
- YAML
- AnyEvent::IRC
- FindBin
- HTML::Entities
- Plack
- Plack::Request
- Tatsumaki
- AnyEvent::Twitter
- AnyEvent::Plurk
- RTPG
- AnyEvent::RTPG
- JSON::XS
At this point, you do not install the Social itself in order to run it. Just cd into the source tree and execute the "social" program.
You need to provide a path to your config file like this:
./social -c /path/to/config.yml
See config/social.yml for the example and description of the configrable content.
Social provides an API controller, you can send messages from the API.
For example,
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use JSON::XS;
use URI;
my $network = ...;
my $channel = ...;
my $msg = shift;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $uri = URI->new( 'http://localhost:9999/api' );
$uri->query_form({ payload => encode_json({ network => $network , channel => $channel , message => $msg }) });
$response = $ua->request(GET $uri );
warn $response->content;
