ApiSports API Rubygem [BETA]

An unofficial ruby gem to integrate API-Sports sports data into your app.

API-Sports provides sports data APIs. This gem is an unofficial wrapper providing lightweight integration of sports data into an application or service. This library does not attempt to support all API capabilities but instead focuses on the most used endpoints (e.g. retrieving game data). Coverage summary:

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add api-sports

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install api-sports

Prerequisite: Set an environment variable API_SPORTS_KEY that contains the API key provided by API-Sports.

client = ApiSports::Client.new(api_key: ENV["API_SPORTS_KEY"])

# client has a reference to instances of resource objects corresponding API endpoints
# e.g. client.leagues will access `/leagues` endpoint data.
# e.g. client.fixtures will access `/fixtures` endpoint data.
# etc.
# Parameters can be passed as needed to respective methods.
fixtures = client.fixtures.list(
  league: 39, # Premier League
  season: 2022,
  date: "2022-09-03",
  status: "FT"
)

# Additional resources (e.g. `/fixtures/lineups`) can be accessed
# by chaining the method calls. For clarify required parameters have been
# identified and made required paremeters when possible (additional parameters may be passed also)
fixtures = client.fixtures.head_to_head(first_team_id: 33, second_team_id: 34)

# Responses will include pagination information included in `paging` attribute of API responses
fixtures.total
fixtures.current_page
fixtures.total_pages

Hat tip to tolbkni/vultr.rb, @excid3 and GoRails for inspiration on how to structure this library.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
