NationBuilder API Client

A simple, flexible NationBuilder API client that is compatible with V1 and V2 APIs, using the OAuth2 authentication and refresh flows, and respects the "retry-after" rate limiting headers.

Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add nationbuilder-api

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install nationbuilder-api

Usage

The gem expects that you have a "nation" object that has attributes for slug, token, refresh_token, token_expires_at. This could be an ActiveModel object, or a simple hash.

Create a client with client = NationBuilder::Client.new(nation)

Then make API calls with that client with response = client.call(:get, "/api/v1/people")

response will contain {code: 200, status: :success, body: {...}}

For put or post calls, include the body like so response = client.call(:put, "/api/v1/people/2", {person: {first_name: "Alex"}})

Todo

Still need to implement token refreshing.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
