HAPI

HAPI provides a generic abstraction layer for dealing with simple HTTP APIs that return XML content.

gem install hapi

Making an API call is a simple matter.

1. Create the HAPI::APICall object
2. Set the parameters you want to send
3. Fire the post() or get() methods

The XML content result is parsed by xml-object and returned at a Ruby object for simplicity.

require 'hapi'
h = HAPI::APICall.new "https://path.to/my/api"
h.params = {'user' => 'rodjek, 'foo' => 'bar'}
response = h.post

i.e.

<response>
    <result>
        <command>foo</command>
        <code>0</code>
    </result>
</response>

Can be accessed as follows

response.result.command
=> "foo"
response.result.code
=> "0"
