Sigimera Client

The following ruby gem encapsulates access to the Sigimera REST API under http://api.sigimera.org. It includes the needed SSL certificate for the HTTPS connections and a detailed documentation. This library will be developed in parallel to the API.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sigimera'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sigimera

irb
>> require "sigimera"
>> require "openssl"
>> puts Sigimera::Client.get_api_version
>> puts Sigimera::Client.get_public_crises
>> puts Sigimera::Client.get_public_rss_feed
>> puts Sigimera::Client.get_auth_token("johndoe@example.org", "verySecretPassword")

# see http://api.sigimera.org/dashboard
>> client = Sigimera::Client.new("YourSecretToken")
or
# The username and password are NOT stored, but only used to fetch an
# authentication token
>> client = Sigimera::Client.new(username = "johndoe@example.org", password = "verySecretPassword")
>> puts client.get_latest_crises
>> puts client.get_latest_crises({ :type => "earthquakes" })
>> puts client.get_crises_stat
>> puts client.get_user_stat
