boxcar_api

Release Notes

Version 1.2

Updated to support new API features.

The Boxcar API Gem

boxcar_api is an easy way to add Boxcar notifications to your application.

Getting Started

First, you'll need to create a provider here. We'll give you a provider key and a provider secret. Once you have those, you can get started:

provider = BoxcarAPI::Provider.new('your_key', 'your_secret')

Subscribe a Boxcar user to your service:

provider.subscribe "[email protected]"

Then send that user a notification:

provider.notify("[email protected]", "Your product has shipped!")

You can also send a group of users a notification:

users = ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"]
provider.batch_notify(users, "Your account has been upgraded.")

Or reach all of your subscribers with a broadcast:

provider.broadcast "Maintenance has begun. We expect to be back up 15 minutes."
