:tada: Makes http fun again!
Makes http fun again! Ain't no party like a httparty, because a httparty don't stop.
gem install httparty
# Use the class methods to get down to business quickly response = HTTParty.get('http://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/questions?site=stackoverflow')puts response.body, response.code, response.message, response.headers.inspect
Or wrap things up in your own class
class StackExchange include HTTParty base_uri 'api.stackexchange.com'
def initialize(service, page) @options = { query: { site: service, page: page } } end
def questions self.class.get("/2.2/questions", @options) end
def users self.class.get("/2.2/users", @options) end end
stack_exchange = StackExchange.new("stackoverflow", 1) puts stack_exchange.questions puts stack_exchange.users
See the examples directory for even more goodies.
httparty also includes the executable
httpartywhich can be used to query web services and examine the resulting output. By default it will output the response as a pretty-printed Ruby object (useful for grokking the structure of output). This can also be overridden to output formatted XML or JSON. Execute
httparty --helpfor all the options. Below is an example of how easy it is.
httparty "https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/questions?site=stackoverflow"
bundle
bundle exec rake
bundle exec rake(No, REALLY :))
