blippex_api

A ruby wrapper for the blippex search engine made bythe people, forthe people.

You can find out more about the Blippex API here.

Documentation

Getting Started

In order to be able to send API requests you'll first need to install the blippex_api gem.

gem install blippex_api

Once you have completed the steps above, you can now create an instance of a BlippexAPI::Client:

require 'blippex_api'
api = BlippexAPI::Client.new

If you now look at your BlippexAPI object instance it will be similar to the following:

<BlippexAPI::Client:0x007fe9a23055f0
@adapter=:net_http,
@api_endpoint="https://api.blippex.org/",
@user_agent="BlippexAPI Ruby Gem 1.0.0">

Example requests

Now that you have an BlippexAPI::Client instance you can now make requests.

info endpoint

api.info

The response is returned within a Hashie::Mash instance.
