Leipzig

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'leipzig'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install leipzig

Usage

Simply create a new instance of the client using your api key and call one of the find methods:

require 'leipzig'

client = Leipzig::Mediahandbook.new('my-key')

companies = client.find_companies(:postcode => '04103')
branches  = client.find_branches(:limit => 5)
people    = client.find_people(:offset => 100)

All find methods except a hash of params which are used to change the result set. See this link for more information about available params.

The result set is always an array containing OpenStruct objects so one can access entry data like properties:

client.find_companies(:limit => 10).first.name
# ==> First company's name

Besides Mediahandbook there are also classes for District and Calendar which are used the same way. Again, see link above for more information about params and structures. Calls could look as follows:

Leipzig::Calendar.new(key).find_events
Leipzig::District.new(key).find_streets

NOTE: Works with both ruby 1.9.2 and ruby 1.9.3

Running the tests

One can choose to run either the fake specs or the real world specs, whereas the latter ones actually calling the API:

$ bundle

$ # Mocked API (default)
$ rake spec

$ # Real world API
$ API_KEY='my-key' API_TYPE='real' rake spec
