gowalla-ruby

Gowalla API wrapper for Ruby. Not yet intended for production use, thought it is functional and more tests are always being added.

Install

gem install gowalla-ruby config.gem 'gowalla-ruby', :lib => 'gowalla' # in environment.rb

./script/plugin install [email protected]:webandy/gowalla-ruby.git

Usage

user = Gowalla::User.find('andyatkinson')
user.stamps
spot = Gowalla::Spot.find(23534)
spot.checkins_count
spot.creator                        # returns a Gowalla::User
spot.top_10
spot.top_10.first.user              # returns a Gowalla::User
spot.events.activity                # see all checkins
spot.events.activity.first.user     # see the user from a checkin


Some real world usages
---
Gowalla::User.find('andyatkinson').stamps_count # => 80
Gowalla::User.find('andyatkinson').last_checkins.first.spot.name => "Tea Garden"
"http://gowalla.com" + Gowalla::User.find('andyatkinson').last_checkins.first.spot.url # url to Tea Garden on Gowalla.com

Testing

Tests use fixture files of API responses as JSON data. API responses are stubbed with Mocha. Tests use the Shoulda framework.
