OSH Park

##An electric ecosystem

Codeship Status for OSHPark/ruby-api-client

OSH Park is a community printed circuit board (PCB) order. The OSH Park gem allows developers to easily access the OSH Park API. Developer resources can be found at https://oshpark.com/developer

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'oshpark'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install oshpark

Usage

Before you begin you need to have an OSH Park account and then request access to the OSH Park API. Do this by contacting OSH Park support

This gem provides two interfaces to the OSH Park API.

Low level API

For use when you have an ORM, framework or pre-exsiting classes that you want to load the OSH Park data into.

The API consists of a number of methods that map to the methods exposed by the OSH Park REST API. These methods take Ruby hashes representing the request data and return hashes of the API responses. Refer to https://oshpark.com/developer/resources for details.

First create an Oshpark::client object and authenticate;

client = Oshpark::client
client.authenticate 'jane@resistor.io', with_password: 'secret'

Then you can can use this object to interact with OSH Park;

file = File.open('my_pcb.zip', 'r')
upload = client.create_upload file
# ...
my_projects = client.projects
# ...
project = client.project 'id'
client.update_project project["id"], {"name" => "my awesome project"}
# ...
new_order = client.create_order
# ...

All low level methods will call to OSH Park's servers. Refer to the source documentation for more detailed information on each of the available methods.

High Level API

This is more suited to when you are writing a script or application and you want to use Ruby objects to represent the OSH Park data. It uses the Low Level API underneath but wraps the return data in nice Ruby objects.

Authenticate

client = Oshpark::client
client.authenticate 'jane@resistor.io', with_password: 'secret'

or with your API secret if you have one:

client = Oshpark::client
client.authenticate 'jane@resistor.io', with_api_secret: 'secret'
Creating Your Project

Next you need to get your project into OSH Park. This is done by either uploading a file or importing a file from a URL.

Upload

To upload a file directly to the API you create an Oshpark::Upload object by passing in an IO object:

file   = File.open 'my_pcb.zip'
upload = Oshpark::Upload.create file
file.close

You now need to wait for processing of the file to complete:

until upload.finished?
  sleep 1
  upload.reload!
end

Now you can access your project via the upload's project method:

project = upload.project
Import

Importing from a remote URL is almost exactly the same as uploading, except that you create an instance of the Oshpark::Import object, and monitor it in much the same was as upload:

import = Oshpark::Upload.create 'https://example.com/my_pcb.zip'

You now need to wait for processing of the file to complete:

until import.finished?
  sleep 1
  import.reload!
end

Now you can access your project via the import's project method:

project = import.project
Verifying your project

Next you need to verify that your board has been processed as expected. Start by verifying that the top_image and bottom_image match your expectations and verify that all the layers that you expect are present with their image files.

Once you are certain that we have processed your board correctly, then you can approve it for ordering:

project.approve
Ordering your project

There are a few steps to go through before you can order your board (or boards) via the API:

Create a new order

The first step is to create a new, empty order into which you will add your items:

order = Oshpark::Order.create
Add your project(s) to your order

Next you need to add your project(s) to your order, specifying their quantity. Remember that for prototype services quantities must be in multiples of three.

order.add_item project, 3
Create an address

Create an address object with your delivery details:

address = Oshpark::Address.new \
  name:               'Jane Doe',
  company_name:       'Resistor Ltd',
  address_line_1:     'Level One, 83-85 Victoria Road',
  address_line_2:     'Devonport',
  city:               'Auckland',
  zip_or_postal_code: '0624',
  country:            'nz'
Set your order address

Once you have generated your address, you can set it on the order:

order.set_address address
Get and set the shipping rates

As our shipping providers generate individual pricing for each destination address you need to ask the API to retrieve all the available rates for your address. The available rates will always include the USPS free shipping options.

rates = address.available_shipping_rates

Set your order to one of the provided shipping rates:

order.set_shipping_rate rates.first
Checkout your order

Next you should be able to checkout your order:

order.checkout

If you are an invoiced customer then your order will immediately be placed in the queue ready for panelization, otherwise you will get an email asking for payment before the order can continue. We can't accept credit card payments via the API at this time.

If you are not, but would like to be an invoiced customer then contact OSH Park support.
