<h2>Some Quick Examples</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following is a simple example of wrapping Twitter's API for posting updates.</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>class Twitter
|
|
include HTTParty
|
|
base_uri 'twitter.com'
|
|
basic_auth 'username', 'password'
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
Twitter.post('/statuses/update.json', :query => {:status => "It's an HTTParty and everyone is invited!"})</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>That is really it! The object returned is a ruby hash that is decoded from Twitter's json response. JSON parsing is used because of the .json extension in the path of the request. You can also explicitly set a format (see the examples). </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>That works and all but what if you don't want to embed your username and password in the class? Below is an example to fix that:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>class Twitter
|
|
include HTTParty
|
|
base_uri 'twitter.com'
|
|
|
|
def initialize(u, p)
|
|
@auth = {:username => u, :password => p}
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
def post(text)
|
|
options = { :query => {:status => text}, :basic_auth => @auth }
|
|
self.class.post('/statuses/update.json', options)
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
Twitter.new('username', 'password').post("It's an HTTParty and everyone is invited!")</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>More Examples:</strong> There are <a href="http://github.com/jnunemaker/httparty/tree/master/examples/">several examples in the gem itself</a>.</p>
