panlex_client

Simple Ruby client for the public API of the PanLex Database. It uses rest-client gem.

Right now, there is just a PanlexClient module with only one query method wich takes two arguments: the URL parameter and the request body. It returns PanLex API response parsed to a Hash or raises an exception with the response in it.

require 'panlex_client'

begin
  response = PanlexClient.query 'lv', { :indent => true, :limit => 2 }
  response['result'].each do |language|
    puts language['tt']
  end
rescue RestClient::ExceptionWithResponse => e
  puts JSON.parse(e.response)['message']
end

panlex_client follows the principles of semantic versioning. panlex_client is still in an 0.x.y version, so it is not considered stable and anything can change at any moment.
