Metabase Ruby Client

Ruby client library for Metabase API

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'metabase'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install metabase

client = Metabase::Client.new(
  url: 'https://example.com',
  username: 'mb@example.com',
  password: 'p@ssw0rd'
)

# Authenticate
client.login

# Fetch the current user
client.current_user

Or specify valid session token:

client = Metabase::Client.new(
  url: 'https://example.com',
  token: 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'
)

client.current_user

# Fetch query results of the card
card_id = 1
client.query_card(card_id)

# Specify export format (csv, json, xlsx)
client.query_card(card_id, format: :csv)

# Fetch query results of the public card
card_uuid = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'
client.query_public_card(card_uuid)
client.query_public_card(card_uuid, format: :csv)

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.

When adding a new endpoint, run docker-compose up to start a local Metabase and run rake spec. API responses are recorded by VCR. Commit Metabase database to the repository as well.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
