httparty

Makes http fun again! Ain't no party like a httparty, because a httparty don't stop.

Install

gem install httparty

Requirements

Ruby 2.7.0 or higher
You like to party!

Examples

# Use the class methods to get down to business quickly
response = HTTParty.get('https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/questions?site=stackoverflow')

puts response.body, response.code, response.message, response.headers.inspect

# Or wrap things up in your own class
class StackExchange
  include HTTParty
  base_uri 'api.stackexchange.com'

  def initialize(service, page)
    @options = { query: { site: service, page: page } }
  end

  def questions
    self.class.get("/2.2/questions", @options)
  end

  def users
    self.class.get("/2.2/users", @options)
  end
end

stack_exchange = StackExchange.new("stackoverflow", 1)
puts stack_exchange.questions
puts stack_exchange.users

See the examples directory for even more goodies.

Command Line Interface

httparty also includes the executable httparty which can be
used to query web services and examine the resulting output. By default
it will output the response as a pretty-printed Ruby object (useful for
grokking the structure of output). This can also be overridden to output
formatted XML or JSON. Execute httparty --help for all the
options. Below is an example of how easy it is.

httparty "https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/questions?site=stackoverflow"

Help and Docs

Contributing

Fork the project.
Run bundle
Run bundle exec rake
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Run bundle exec rake (No, REALLY :))
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself in another branch so I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
