Foauth

foauth.org Ruby client built on top of faraday.

To use this gem you'll need to go to foauth.org and register for an account, then go to the services page and authenticate with the services you want to get your data out of.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'foauth'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install foauth

Create a new client passing in your foauth email and password. If you don't pass any credentials then it will look in the FOAUTH_EMAIL and FOAUTH_PASSWORD environment variables.

client = Foauth.new('bob@example.org', 'secret')

When you make a request to one of the supported foauth services the url will automatically be converted to a foauth url using the hostname and the path.

response = client.get('https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json')
# An authenticated request is made to https://foauth.org/api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json

puts response.success?  # true
puts response.body      # [{"created_at":"Mon Dec 31 23:59:13 +0000 2012"...
puts response.status    # 200

The client returned is an instance of Faraday::Connection and the response is an instance of Faraday::Response.

You can pass a block to Foauth.new which will yield a Faraday::Builder instance. This allows you to customize middleware and change the default http adapter.

For example, if you want response.body to be automatically decoded for you then add faraday_middleware to your Gemfile and use the following code to add the json and xml parsing middleware.

require 'faraday_middleware'

client = Foauth.new 'bob@example.org', 'secret' do |builder|
  builder.response :json, :content_type => /\bjson$/
  builder.response :xml, :content_type => /\bxml$/
end
