use HTTP::Tiny;
use JSON::PP;
my $res = HTTP::Tiny->new(timeout => 10)->get(
'https://api.credicorp.co.uk/public/v1/products',
{ headers => { 'Accept' => 'application/json' } });
die $res->{status} unless $res->{success};
my $data = decode_json($res->{content})->{data};HTTP::Tiny ships with modern Perl and needs no CPAN install for a simple GET. Decode with JSON::PP (also core) and check the success flag before using the body.
Use the sandbox in development
Point the base host at https://sandbox.credicorp.co.uk/public/v1 in development and CI, and at https://api.credicorp.co.uk/public/v1 in production, driven by one environment variable. See choosing a base URL.
Next steps
From here, request a quote, submit an enquiry, and send applicants to apply. Handle errors with the shared error envelope.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need LWP?
Not for a simple public GET — core HTTP::Tiny and JSON::PP are enough. Use LWP::UserAgent for more complex needs like cookies or proxies.
How do I handle errors in Perl?
Check the status code and read the error object from the body — error.code is the stable machine string to branch on. The pattern is identical across every endpoint.
