=head1 METHODS

=head2 new( $args )

Creates a new WWW::Moviepilot instance.

    my $m = WWW::Moviepilot->new( $args );

C<$args> must be a hash reference, you should supply an API key:

    $args->{api_key} = ...;

To get a valid API key you should read L<http://wiki.github.com/moviepilot/moviepilot-API/>.

Further optional arguments:

=over 4

=item * C<host> (default: C<www.moviepilot.de>)

The host where the requests are sent to.

=item * C<ua> (default: C<< LWP::UserAgent->new >>)

A L<LWP::UserAgent> compatible user agent.

sub new {
    my ($class, $args) = @_;
    my $self = bless {} => $class;
    $self->{api_key} = $args->{api_key} || croak "api_key is missing at " . __PACKAGE__ . "->new()";
    $self->{host}    = $args->{host}    || 'www.moviepilot.de';
    $self->{ua}      = $args->{ua}      || LWP::UserAgent->new;

    $self->{host} = 'http://' . $self->{host} unless $self->{host} =~ m{^http://};

    return $self;
}

=head2 movie( $name ) | movie( $source => $id )

Retrieve a movie as L<WWW::Moviepilot::Movie> object.
There are two ways to specify which movie to retrieve.
First, you can provide the name of the movie (this name is some kind of normalised,
I'm not sure how exactly):

    my $movie = $m->movie( 'matrix' );

The second form is to provide an alternate ID:

    my $movie = $m->movie( imdb => '133093' );
    my $movie = $m->movie( amazon => 'B00004R80K' );

=cut

sub movie {
    my ($self, @args) = @_;

    my $url = $self->host . '/movies/';
    if ( @args > 2 ) {
        croak "invalid usage of " . __PACKAGE__ . "->movie()";
    }
    $url .= join '-id-', map { uri_escape($_) } @args;
    $url .= '.json';

    my $uri = URI->new( $url );
    $uri->query_form( api_key => $self->api_key );
    my $res = $self->ua->get( $uri->as_string );

    if( $res->is_error ) {
        croak $res->status_line;
    }

    my $json = JSON::Any->from_json( $res->decoded_content );

    my $movie = WWW::Moviepilot::Movie->new({ m => $self });
    $movie->populate({ data => { movie => $json } });
    return $movie;
}

=head2 search_movie( $query )

Searches for a movie and returns a list with results:

    my @movielist = $m->search_movie( 'matrix' );
    if ( @movielist == 0 ) {
        print 'no movies found';
    }
    else {
        # each $movie is a WWW::Moviepilot::Movie object
