Fork the code on Github

Installation

Using the gem

require 'snapshot'

Connecting the Client

Snapshot.configure do |config|
  config.domain = 'yourdomain.snapshothq.com'

Snapshot.configure({:access_key => ...})

Typical Usage

The API for the gem was modeled after ActiveRecord to make it easy to pick up. Uploading a video to Snapshot is done with via the create method:

img = Snapshot::Image.create('example.jpg')
# => #<Snapshot::Image:0x00000100a51080>

img.id
# => 'adf4675e46a6078c1bbc6a663a47e1e56e4622e5'

img.created_at
# => 2011-01-13 15:30:34 -0600

img.format
# => "JPEG"

img.width
# => 720

img.height
# => 640

Once and image has been uploaded, you can reference and process the image based on its id:

img = Snapshot::Image.find('adf4675e46a6078c1bbc6a663a47e1e56e4622e5')
# => #<Snapshot::Image:0x000001008a3df0>

img = Snapshot::Image.find('wrong id')
# => nil

To delete an image, call its destroy method:

img.destroy
# => true
