Whowas

Whowas is a simple tool for chaining third-party API searches together. It is called "Whowas" because it was initially developed to answer the question, "Who was the person (username) using this IP address at that time?"

Whowas can be used to match any piece of data with another through an arbitrary number of API searches, where the result of each search becomes the input to the next search.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'whowas'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install whowas

Please see the wiki for basic usage and other documentation.
