Lotr

Ruby SDK for the The Lord of the Rings API.

Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add lotr

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install lotr

Usage

Making requests

require 'lotr'

# Initialize the client and provide authentication credentials
client = Lotr::Client.new(api_key: 'your_api_key')

# List all movies
client.movies # or client.get_movies

# Retrieve a movie
client.movie("5cd95395de30eff6ebccde5b") # or client.get_movie("5cd95395de30eff6ebccde5b")

# List all movie quotes for one specific movie
client.quotes_for_movie("5cd95395de30eff6ebccde5b") # or client.get_quotes_for_movie("5cd95395de30eff6ebccde5b")

Additional query parameters

# Paginate movie quotes
client.quotes_for_movie("5cd95395de30eff6ebccde5b", page: 2, limit: 5)

# Sort movie quotes, sort by character asc
client.quotes_for_movie("5cd95395de30eff6ebccde5b", sort: 'dialog', order: 'asc')

Consuming resources

The API methods return a Resource open struct object which provides dot notation and [] access for fields returned in the API response e.g.

movie = client.movie("5cd95395de30eff6ebccde5b")
puts movie['name']
# => "The Two Towers"
puts movie[:academy_award_wins]
# => 2
puts movie.runtime_in_minutes
# => 179

Error handling

The API methods raise an error if the API returns an error response. The error object is a subclass of Lotr::Error e.g:

client = Lotr::Client.new(api_key: "invalidAPKey")
begin
  client.movies
# handle specific errors
rescue Lotr::Unauthorized => e
  puts e.message
  # => "Unauthorized"
rescue Lotr::Error => e
  # could be any other error e.g. Lotr::Unauthorized, Lotr::Forbidden, Lotr::BadRequest, Lotr::InternalServerError, Lotr::ServiceUnavailable
  # or any other error that might be raised by the underlying HTTP client.

  # log the error, notify user, retry the request, etc.
end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
