[<--]Prev Using WebFetch to Display Linux News on Your Web Site Next[-->]
Embedding WebFetch in other programs

The WebFetch Embedding API uses an internal database-like table to store the retrieved news.

Your programs can access it directly instead of having WebFetch generate its own files.

Your program can read the following variables:

$obj->{actions} - defines where to output the data and how (array ref)
$obj->{data}{fields} - sequential list of field names (array ref)
$obj->{data}{wk_names} - "well-known names" for some fields (hash ref)
$obj->{data}{records} - 2D table of data records (array ref)
