ShortPixel

Ruby bindings for the ShortPixel API.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'shortpixel'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install shortpixel

The ShortPixel Reducer API expects an array of publically available urls for your images. (If you need to upload the urls from the local machine to ShortPixel use the PostReducer API.)

pngs = ['https://fakeurl.com/first_image.png', 'https://fakeurl.com/second_image.png']

client = ShortPixel::Client.new(api_key: <<SHORTPIXEL_API_KEY>>)

reducer = client.reducer
initial_request = reducer.call(lossy: 1, urllist: pngs)

# Wait for images to process

follow_up_request = reducer.recall

# Or repeat the original request

alternate_follow_up = reducer.call((lossy: 1, urllist: pngs)

For a list of parameters to use with the Reducer API, check out ShortPixel's official API docs.

For example, you could modify "initial_request" above like this:

initial_request = reducer.call(lossy: 1, urllist: pngs, wait: 5, convertto: '+webp')

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

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 the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
