Bug#704961: ITP: libnet-google-safebrowsing2-perl -- Perl extension for the Google Safe Browsing v2 API
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : libnet-google-safebrowsing2-perl
Version : 1.07-1
Upstream Author : Julien Sobrier <julien@sobrier.net>

* License : Perl
Description : Perl extension for the Google Safe Browsing v2 API
The library passes most of the unit tests listed in the API documentation. See
the documentation
(http://code.google.com/apis/safebrowsing/developers_guide_v2.html) for more
details about the failed tests.
The Google Safe Browsing database must be stored and managed locally.
Net::Google::SafeBrowsing2::Sqlite uses Sqlite as the storage back-end,
Net::Google::SafeBrowsing2::MySQL uses MySQL. Other storage mechanisms
(databases, memory, etc.) can be added and used transparently with this module.
You may want to look at "Google Safe Browsing v2: Implementation Notes"
(http://www.zscaler.com/research/Google%20Safe%20Browsing%20v2%20API.pdf), a
collection of notes and real-world numbers about the API. This is intended for
people who want to learn more about the API, whether as a user or to make their
own implementation.
The source code is available on github at
https://github.com/juliensobrier/Net-Google-SafeBrowsing2.
If you do not need to inspect more than 10,000 URLs a day, you can use
Net::Google::SafeBrowsing2::Lookup with the Google Safe Browsing v2 Lookup API
which does not require to store and maintain a local database.
IMPORTANT: If you start with an empty database, you will need to perform several
updates to retrieve all the Google Safe Browsing information. This may require
up to 24 hours. This is a limitation of the Google API, not of this module. See
"Google Safe Browsing v2: Implementation Notes" at
