Configuration

Gamercard uses Faraday, so you can use any http backend that Faraday supports. It assumes Typhoeus by default. Tell Gamercard what http library you are using by:

Gamercard.adapter = :excon # (or :typhoeus, w/e)

A block-style configurator is also available:

Gamercard.configure do |c|
  c.adapter = :typhoeus
  c.user_agent = "My Awesome Client"
end

CHANGELOG

  • v0.0.1 Hello World
    • Returns all the basic gamercard data, sans status. Status can be had from a public site, though, so that is next!

Thanks to

This project builds on work done by the following people and projects:

  • barisbalic's gamertag, which depends on unfortunately unreliable 3rd-party proxies to Microsoft's service. This gem provides less data, but scrapes it directly from http://live.xbox.com – Straight from the horse's mouth, if you will.

So: thanks a ton to him.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.
  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.
  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
