Delicious_api

delicious_api is a pure Ruby client for the Delicious API. It provides an easy
way to read/write bookmarks, tags and bundles to Delicious accounts.

• an object oriented design: Bookmark, Tag and Bundle classes
• 100% covered by tests (check it for yourself!)
• 100% documented
• 100% Ruby 1.9 compatibility

The following gems are required:

sudo gem install activesupport hpricot

and then you can (and should) get it as a gem:

sudo gem install jbgutierrez-delicious_api --source http://gems.github.com

DeliciousApi::Base.wrapper = DeliciousApi::Wrapper.new 'account', 'secret'

Optionally, name your client (a.k.a. ‘user agent’) to something identifiable, such as your app’s name.

DeliciousApi::Base.wrapper = DeliciousApi::Wrapper.new 'account', 'secret', :user_agent => 'your-app-name'  

In order not to get throttled, it will be a time gap of 1 second between each inner http request. Change this behaviour at your own risk:

DeliciousApi::Base.wrapper = DeliciousApi::Wrapper.new 'account', 'secret', :waiting_time_gap => 0

bookmark = DeliciousApi::Bookmark.find 'http://www.yahoo.com/'
bookmarks = DeliciousApi::Bookmark.find_by_date Date.now, :tags => %w[yahoo web search] 
bookmarks = DeliciousApi::Bookmark.find_recent :tag => 'yahoo', :limit => 10
bookmarks = DeliciousApi::Bookmark.find_all :tag => 'yahoo', :limit => 10
bookmarks = DeliciousApi::Bookmark.find_all :start_time => 2.days.ago, :end_time => Time.now

bookmark = DeliciousApi::Bookmark.new 'http://www.yahoo.com/'
bookmark.save

bookmark = DeliciousApi::Bookmark.find :url => 'http://www.yahoo.com/'
bookmark.destroy

bookmark = DeliciousApi::Bookmark.find :url => 'http://www.yahoo.com/'

bookmark.description = 'Yahoo!'
bookmark.extended    = 'My favorite site ever'
bookmark.tags        = %w[array of tags]

bookmark.save  # returns false
bookmark.save! # returns true

#!/usr/bin/env ruby -wKU
require 'rubygems'
require 'delicious_api'
DeliciousApi::Base.wrapper = DeliciousApi::Wrapper.new 'source_account', 'secret'
bookmarks = DeliciousApi::Bookmark.all
DeliciousApi::Base.wrapper = DeliciousApi::Wrapper.new 'target_account', 'secret'
bookmarks.each { |b| b.save }

The following specs are pending:

1. should check to see when a user last posted an item. (PENDING: Not Yet Implemented)
2. should list dates on which bookmarks were posted (PENDING: Not Yet Implemented)
3. should fetch a change detection manifest of all items (PENDING: Not Yet Implemented)
4. should set User-Agent to something identifiable (PENDING: Not Yet Implemented)
