DESCRIPTION

The Harvard Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a digital library portal for researchers in astronomy and physics, maintaining large bibliographic collections. Through the ADS, you can search abstracts and full-text of major astronomy and physics publications.

Astro::ADS is the base class for accessing the ADS API using Perl and will grow as more services are added.

It handles methods common to all services such as setting the UserAgent and including your API key in all request headers.
