# setting fav_league and fav_team would make it much simple
# use football help SUBCOMMAND to see details

API

First you need to configure the api

FootballData.configure do |config|
    # get api key at 'http://api.football-data.org/register'
    config.api_key = YOUR_API_KEY

    # default api version is 'alpha' if not setted
    config.api_version = 'alpha'

    # the default control method is 'full' if not setted
    # see request section on 'http://api.football-data.org/documentation'
    config.response_control = 'minified'
end

Use FootballData.fetch(resource, subresource, params) to fetch the data. It returns a json parsed object. Such as:

# GET 'http://api.football-data.org/v1/soccerseasons'
FootballData.fetch(:soccerseasons)

# GET 'http://api.football-data.org/v1/soccerseasons/398/leagueTable'
FootballData.fetch(:soccerseasons, :leagueTable, id: 398)

# GET 'http://api.football-data.org/v1/soccerseasons/398/fixtures?matchday=8'
FootballData.fetch(:soccerseasons, :fixtures, id: 398, matchday: 8)

res = FootballData.fetch(:teams, :players, id: 57)
pp res['players'].find{|player| player['name'] =~ /Mesut/i}
# {"id"=>1967,
# "name"=>"Mesut Özil",
# "position"=>"Attacking Midfield",
# "jerseyNumber"=>11,
# "dateOfBirth"=>"1988-10-15",
# "nationality"=>"Germany",
# "contractUntil"=>"2018-06-30",
# "marketValue"=>"40,000,000 €"}
