Gamertag

A simple wrapper for the Xbox Leaders 2.0 API, which allows you to pull back public information about an Xbox Live user with just their Gamertag. This includes their profile, friends, games played and achievements.

Divergence from API

The Xbox Leaders API has evolved recently and will probably continue to do so now that it has more focus from it's developer. As a result I've made some choices that may not marry up completely with the API documentation, however I feel they are sensible/idiomatic, and where reasonable I've suggested to the Xbox Leaders team that they could make changes directly to the API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gamertag'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gamertag

As of 2.0, the codebase is completely re-written, however I'd like to thank David Czarnecki for his contributions, especially for putting up with the original crappy code.
