place_hold($item_id,$notification_email_address,$auto_checkout)
$notification_email_address and $auto_checkout are optional. $auto_checkout defaults to false.
Returnsholdsitemrecord
It is preferred that the $notification_email_address is specified.
If $auto_checkout is set to true, the item will be checked out as soon as it becomes available.
checkouts()
For formats see "checkout_formats()" below
checkout($item_id,$format,$allow_multiple_format_checkouts)
$format and $allow_multiple_format_checkouts are optional. $allow_multiple_format_checkouts defaults to
false.
Returnscheckoutitemrecord
An item can be available in multiple formats. Checkout is complete only when the format is specified.
Checkout can be actioned without format being specified. In that case an early return can be actioned. To
complete checkout format must be locked later (see lock_format() below). That would be the case with
place_hold() with $auto_checkout set to true. Once format is locked, an early return is not possible.
If $allow_multiple_format_checkouts flag is set to true, multiple formats of the same item can be
acioned. If it is false (default) and the item was already checked out, the checked out item record will
be returned regardless of the format.
Checkout record will have an extra field "format" if format is locked in.

If format is not immediately available it must be locked first
lock_format($item_id,$format)Returnslockedformat(shouldbethesameastheinputvalue)checkout_download_url($item_id,$format,$error_url,$success_url)ReturnsOverDrivedownloadurl
Checked out items must be downloaded by users on the OverDrive site. This method returns the url where
the user should be sent to (redirected). Once the download is complete, user will be redirected back to
$error_url in case of an error, otherwise to optional $success_url if specified.

Constructor

"auth_token" => auth token as previously obtained
Description
These services require individual user credentials. See "WebService::ILS INDIVIDUAL USER AUTHENTICATION
AND METHODS"
See WebService::ILS::OverDrive
Individual User Authentication Methods
auth_by_user_id($user_id,$password,$website_id,$authorization_name)
"website_id" and "authorization_name" (domain) are provided by OverDrive
Returns(access_token,access_token_type)oraccess_tokenAuthenticationatOverDrive-Grantedor"3-Legged"Authorization
With OverDrive there's an extra step - an auth code is returned to the redirect back handler that needs
to make an API call to convert it into a auth token.
An example:
my $overdrive = WebService::ILS::OverDrive::Patron({
client_id => $client_id,
client_secret => $client_secret,
library_id => $library_id,
});
my $redirect_url = $overdrive->auth_url("http://myapp.com/overdrive-auth");
$response->redirect($redirect_url);
...
/overdrive-auth handler:
my $auth_code = $req->param( $overdrive->auth_code_param_name )
or some_error_handling(), return;
# my $state = $req->param( $overdrive->state_token_param_name )...
local $@;
eval { $overdrive->auth_by_code( $auth_code ) };
if ($@) { some_error_handling(); return; }
$session{overdrive_access_token} = $access_token;
$session{overdrive_access_token_type} = $access_token_type;
$session{overdrive_auth_token} = $auth_token;
...
Somewhere else in your app:
my $ils = WebService::ILS::Provider({
client_id => $client_id,
client_secret => $client_secret,
access_token => $session{overdrive_access_token},
access_token_type => $session{overdrive_access_token_type},
auth_token = $session{overdrive_auth_token}
});
my $checkouts = $overdrive->checkouts;
auth_url($redirect_uri,$state_token)Inputparams:
"redirect_uri" => return url which will handle redirect back after auth
"state_token" => a token that is returned back unchanged;
for additional security; not required
