<h2>Install</h2>
<pre><code>$ sudo gem install httparty</code></pre>
<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>
