Welcome to a ruby client that interacts with the Autotask API.

I intend for this to be a full-featured Ruby Client for the API. It's still active development, but I expect that a 1.0 will be released around February 2019.

Comments, PR's are more than welcome. I would love to hear any ideas or suggestions.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'autotask_ruby'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install autotask_ruby

The Client.rb must be initialized to begin. The client class is responsible for interacting with the API.

Every call to the Autotask API must include a 'IntegrationCode'. You can get this from Autotask. Secondly, Autotask has multiple endpoints. Be sure to use the appropriate endpoint.

AutotaskRuby::Client.new(basic_auth: [valid_api_user, valid_password],
                                 integration_code: ENV['INTEGRATION_CODE'],
                                 endpoint: endpoint)

client.find('Account', 296162)

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 tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/[USERNAME]/autotask_ruby. This project is intended to be a safe, welcoming space for collaboration, and contributors are expected to adhere to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct.

The gem is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License.

Everyone interacting in the AutotaskRuby project’s codebases, issue trackers, chat rooms and mailing lists is expected to follow the code of conduct.

Many thanks to the follow from whom I've shameless stolen code ideas.
