HTTP wrappers with ease
httparty looks really cool. It’s a little library for making writing tiny REST clients easier. From the examples (edited for length):
- class Twitter
- include HTTParty
- base_uri 'twitter.com'
- def initialize(user, pass)
- self.class.basic_auth user, pass
- end
- # which can be :friends, :user or :public
- # options[:query] can be things like since, since_id, count, etc.
- def timeline(which=:friends, options={})
- self.class.get("/statuses/#{which}_timeline.xml", options)['statuses'].map { |s| s.to_struct }
- end
- end
- twitter = Twitter.new('bob@example.com', 'bobtime')
- twitter.timeline.each do |s|
- puts s.user.name, s.text, "#{s.created_at} #{s.id}", ''
- end
Great job, John!
