Emporium

Automatic identification and data capture library to read UPC/EAN and get as much information as it possibly can.

Add to your Gemfile and run the bundle command to install it.

gem "emporium"

Requires Ruby 1.9.2 or later.

Emporium::Services::Amazon.configuration do |config|
  config.access_key = "access_key"
  config.associate_tag = "associate_tag"
  config.secret = "secret"
end

Emporium::Services::Google.configuration do |config|
  config.access_key = "access_key"
  config.cme = "cse" # custom search engine
end

Give it a UPC to fetch a product object. The Code only takes UPC-A digits

require 'emporium'

product = Emporium::Product.new("066661234567")
product.service = :google # or :amazon
product.fetch!
