And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install listingcheck_api

Usage

api = ListingcheckApi::Client.new(:auth_token => 'your_ubersecret_token')

Scan

Locally setup a new Scan to perform:

place = ListingcheckApi::Place.new(:name => 'Tam Tam', :phone => '015-7502000', :address => 'Patrijsweg 80', :city => 'Rijswijk')
scan = ListingcheckApi::Scan.new(:scan_group => 'restaurants', :place_attributes => place)

Send API call to create the scan and next perform it.

api.create_scan(scan)
api.perform_scan(scan.access_token)

You will receive the Scan with a unique access_token and all matched listings.

Listings
