# Net::Amazon::Response(3pm)

Baseclass for responses from Amazon's web service

## NAME

Net::Amazon::Response - Baseclass for responses from Amazon's web service

## SYNOPSIS

```
    $resp = $ua->request($request);
    if($resp->is_success()) {
        print $resp->as_string();
    }
    if($resp->is_error()) {
        print $resp->message();
    }
    if($resp->is_success()) {
        for my $property ($resp->properties) {
            print $property->as_string(), "\n";
        }
    }
```

## DESCRIPTION

`"Net::Amazon::Response"` is the baseclass for responses coming back  from the useragent's `"request"` method. Responses are typically not of type `"Net::Amazon::Response"` but one of its subclasses `"Net::Amazon::Response::*"`. However, for basic error handling and dumping content, `"Net::Amazon::Response"`'s methods are typically used, because we typically don't know what type of object we're  actually dealing with.

### METHODS

- *is\_success()*

  Returns true if the request was successful. This doesn't mean any objects have been found, it just indicates a successful roundtrip.

- *is\_error()*

  Returns true if an error occurred. Use `"message()"` to determine what  kind of error.

- *properties()*

  Returns the list of `"Net::Amazon::Property"` objects which were found by the query.

- *as\_string()*

  Dumps the content of the response.

- *message()*

  Returns the error message as a string in case an error occurred. In case several errors occurred, they're stringed together. Look up `"messages()"` if you need them separated.

- *messages()*

  Returns all error messages for a response as a reference to an array of string messages.
