# Zabbix::API::MediaType(3pm)

## NAME

Zabbix::API::MediaType -- Zabbix media type objects

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Zabbix::API::MediaType;
  # fetch a meda type by name
  my $mediatype = $zabbix->fetch('MediaType', params => { filter => { description => "My Media Type" } })->[0];

  # and update it

  $mediatype->data->{exec_path} = 'my_notifier.pl';
  $mediatype->push;
```

## DESCRIPTION

Handles CRUD for Zabbix media\_type objects.

This is a subclass of `"Zabbix::API::CRUDE"`; see there for inherited methods.

## METHODS

- *name()*

  Accessor for the media type's name (the "description" attribute); returns the empty string if no description is set, for instance if the media type has not been created on the server yet.

- *type()*

  Accessor for the media type's type.

## EXPORTS

Some constants:

```
  MEDIA_TYPE_EMAIL
  MEDIA_TYPE_EXEC
  MEDIA_TYPE_SMS
  MEDIA_TYPE_JABBER
  MEDIA_TYPE_EZ_TEXTING
```

These are used to specify the media type's type.  They are not exported by default, only on request; or you could import the `":media_types"` tag.
