SYNOPSIS

        my $owid = WebService::OurWorldInData->new({
            proxy => '...', # your web proxy
        });
    
        my $search = $owid->search( q => 'star', fl => 'bibcode' );

DESCRIPTION

    This is a base class for Our World in Data APIs. You will want the
    modules for each endpoint:

      * WebService::OurWorldInData::Chart

      * WebService::OurWorldInData::Tables

      * WebService::OurWorldInData::Indicators

      * WebService::OurWorldInData::Search

    WARNING: from the OWID dev page, These APIs are under active
    development. For that reason, I will start by only providing the JSON
    responses from their server. As the API design crystalizes, I will add
    convenience handling classes for the Results so that you can iterate
    through them for specific bits of data.

 Getting Started

    OWID's Technical Documentation <https://docs.owid.io/projects/etl/api/>

 Proxies

    The UA gets the proxy from your environment variable _or_ create a
    HTTP::Tiny object with the {all_proxy => "proxy url"} attribute and
    pass that to the ua attribute of the API constructor

        $tiny_ua = HTTP::Tiny->new({all_proxy => "http://proxy.url"});
        $client = WebService::OurWorldInData->new({ ua => $tiny_ua });

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

    I am stealing from Neil Bowers' WebService::HackerNews to learn how he
    does APIs with HTTP::Tiny. This is a re-write from my first version in
    Mojo. Any mistakes, of course, are mine.
