DESCRIPTION
    This module provides an easy way to interact with the Shutterstock, Inc.
    API <http://api.shutterstock.com>. You will need an API username and key
    from Shutterstock with the appropriate permissions in order to use this
    module.

    While there are some actions you can perform with this object (as shown
    under the "METHODS" section), many API operations are done within the
    context of a specific user/account or a specific subscription. Below are
    some additional examples of how to use this set of API modules. You will
    find more examples and documentation in the related modules as well as
    the "examples" directory in the source of the distribution.

   Licensing and Downloading
    Licensing images happens in the context of a
    WebService::Shutterstock::Customer object. For example:

            my $licensed_image = $customer->license_image(
                    image_id => 59915404,
                    size     => 'medium'
            );

    If you have more than one active subscription, you will need to specify
    which subscription to license the image under. Please see
    "license_image" in WebService::Shutterstock::Customer for more details.

    Once you have a licensed image, you can then download the image:

            $licensed_image->download(file => '/my/photos/hummingbird.jpg');

    Every image licensed under your account (whether through
    shutterstock.com or the API) can be retrieved using the customer object
    as well:

            my $downloads = $customer->downloads;

    Or, you can fetch one "page" (40 items) of downloads. Pages start being
    numbered at 0.

            my $page_two_of_downloads = $customer->downloads( page_number => 1 );

    Or, you can fetch the "redownloadable_state" of a particular image.

            my $redownloadable_state = $customer->downloads(
                    image_id => 11024440,
                    field    => "redownloadable_state"
            );

   Lightboxes
    Lightbox retrieval starts with a customer as well but most methods are
    documented in the WebService::Shutterstock::Lightbox module. Here's a
    short example:

            my $lightboxes = $customer->lightboxes;
            my($favorites) = grep {$_->name eq 'Favorites'} @$lightboxes;
            $favorites->add_image(59915404);

            my $favorite_images = $favorite->images;

METHODS
  new( api_username => $api_username, api_key => $api_key )
    Constructor method, requires both the "api_username" and "api_key"
    parameters be passed in. If you provide invalid values that the API
    doesn't recognize, the first API call you make will throw an exception

  auth(username => $username, password => $password)
    Authenticate for a specific customer account. Returns a
    WebService::Shutterstock::Customer object. If authentication fails, an
    exception is thrown (see WebService::Shutterstock::Exception and
    "ERRORS" section for more information).

    This is the main entry point for any operation dealing with
    subscriptions, image licensing, download history or lightboxes.

  categories
    Returns a list of photo categories (useful for specifying a category_id
    when searching).

  search(%search_query)
    Perform a search. Accepts any params documented here:
    <http://api.shutterstock.com/#imagessearch>. Returns a
    WebService::Shutterstock::SearchResults object.

  image($image_id)
    Performs a lookup on a single image. Returns a
    WebService::Shutterstock::Image object (or "undef" if the image doesn't
    exist).

ERROR HANDLING
    If an API call fails in an unexpected way, an exception object (see
    WebService::Shutterstock::Exception) will be thrown. This object should
    have all the necessary information for you to handle the error if you
    choose but also stringifies to something informative enough to be useful
    as well.
