canistreamit
A Ruby wrapper for canistream.it API inspired by Niels Lemmens's Python wrapper.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'canistreamit'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install canistreamit
Usage
Create a new client
client = Canistreamit::Client.new
Search for movies by title
client.search("Everything is Illuminated")
=> [{"actors"=>"Elijah Wood, Eugene Hutz, Boris Leskin",
"year"=>2005,
"description"=>"",
"title"=>"Everything is Illuminated",
"image"=>"http://content7.flixster.com/movie/25/01/250121_det.jpg",

Query canistream.it by movie id and media type
client.query("4ebdd5f9f5f807716100001b", ["rental", "streaming"])
=> {"rental"=>

Available media types:
- streaming (default)
- rental
- purchase
- dvd
- xfinity
Because each media type will result in one slow request to canistream.it API, avoid including more types than you care for.
Query canistream.it for all search results at once
client.search_and_query("die hard", ["rental", "streaming"])
=> [{"movie"=>

Because this is pretty heavy on canistream.it API,
search_and_query
only queries for the first search result by default.
You can set your own limit with a third parameter, but be responsible:
client.search_and_query("die hard", "rental", 5)
