Installation
Install as a gem
$ gem install rarbg
Or add it to your Gemfile and execute bundle install
gem 'rarbg', '~> 2.0'
Usage
This gem wraps all API methods available from RARBG TorrentAPI.
An authentication token is automatically generated on the first request, stored with a timestamp and renewed every 800 seconds.
Rate limit (1req/2s) is automatically enforced.
Check out the full documentation for details on all methods and parameters.
Getting started
Require the gem and initialize a new RARBG::API
object.
require 'rarbg'
rarbg = RARBG::API.new
Methods
Use list
to list torrents.
Additional parameters are passed as keyword arguments and can be mixed together.
All successful method calls return an array of hashes (or an empty array for no results).
# List last 100 torrents.
rarbg.list(limit: 100)
# List torrents with at least 20 seeders, sorted by seeders.
rarbg.list(min_seeders: 20, sort: :seeders)
# List torrents with extended json infos.
rarbg.list(format: :json_extended)
Use search
to search torrents.
One search type parameter among string
, imdb
, themoviedb
and tvdb
is required.
# Search torrents using literal string query.
rarbg.search(string: 'Force Awakens')
# Search by IMDB id, in `Movies/x264/1080` and `Movies/x264/720`.
rarbg.search(imdb: 'tt2488496', category: [44, 45])
# Search unranked torrents by TheMovieDB id, sorted by last.
rarbg.search(themoviedb: 140607, ranked: false, sort: :last)
These methods are also available from the top module namespace for convenience.
RARBG.list(sort: :leechers, min_leechers: 10)
RARBG.search(string: 'Star Wars', category: [48])
A list of name/id pairs for each category is available for quick lookup.
RARBG::CATEGORIES
# => { "Movies/XVID" => 14,
# "Movies/XVID/720" => 48,
# "Movies/x264" => 17,
# ...
Errors
API endpoint errors will raise a RARBG::APIError
exception with the API error message.
rarbg.list(sort: :name)
# => RARBG::APIError: Invalid sort
rarbg.search(string: 'Star Wars', min_seeders: 'notanumber')
# => RARBG::APIError: Invalid value for min_seeders
rarbg.search(imdb: 'tt0121765')
# => RARBG::APIError: Service unavailable (503)
Parameter validation errors on client side will raise an ArgumentError
.
rarbg.list('a string instead of an hash')
# => ArgumentError: Expected params hash
rarbg.search(limit: 50)
# => ArgumentError: One search parameter required among: string, imdb, tvdb, themoviedb
Lower level connection errors will raise Faraday::Error
subclasses exceptions.
rarbg.search(string: 'a timeout error')
# => Faraday::ConnectionFailed: execution expired
