A wrapper for compete.com API. Can be used to look up information (trust level, rankings, visitors) for a domain.

You’ll need an account at developer.compete.com/ Depending on number of requests you make you’ll need to pay. We (Simplificator) have no connection with compete.com!

Sign up at developer.compete.com/ and get an API key Install the simplificator-compete gem.

Look at compete.rb to see available information (i.e. metrics_ranking, metrics_link, …)

require 'rubygems'
require 'simplificator-compete'
COMPETE_API_KEY = 'your api key'

info = Compete.for_domain('simplificator.com')
if info.data_available?
  puts "Ranking is: #{info.metrics_ranking}"
else 
  puts "no data"
end
