rockthevote

Ruby wrapper for the RocktheVote's Online Voter Registration API, Rocky. See also the full API documentation. This API allows partners to prepare voter registration forms specific to a voter's state that can be printed, signed, and mailed.

Supports Ruby 2.1.2 or greater.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rockthevote'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself using:

$ gem install rockthevote

Some methods (get_state_requirements) do not require an API key.

# Intialize a client without an API key
client = Rocky::Client.new(api_key: "your-api-key")

# Initialize a client without an API key
client = Rocky::Client.new()

client.get_state_requirements(home_zip_code: "11201", lang: "en")

requirements = client.get_state_requirements(home_zip_code: "11201", lang: en)

requirements._response.headers[:content-type]
# => "application/json; charset=utf-8"

requirements._response.headers["status"]
# => "200 OK"

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.
