Bigcommerce API (V2) Client

Full featured Ruby Gem to connect to the Big Commerce API. Similar to the the official gem by Bigcommerce, but with more Ruby-like syntax, allowing you to interact with Ruby objects (with familiar find and save methods) instead of hashes.

Additionally, it is compatible with the new OAuth authentication.

Developed and maintained by Whiplash Merchandising.

Requirements

Ruby 1.8.7+
Rubygems
JSON
ActiveSupport 2.3.5+
Httparty

A valid username, API key, and store URL OR app client id, OAuth token, and store hash/id are required to authenticate requests.

Installation

git clone git://github.com/ideaoforder/bigcommerce_api.git
cd bigcommerce_api
rake install

Or if you're using Bundler:

gem 'bigcommerce_api'

Configuration

To use the API client in your Ruby code:

require 'rubygems'
require 'bigcommerce_api'

You can currently connect using the existing api key auth:

api = BigcommerceAPI::Base.new(
    :api_key => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX', 
    :username => 'XXXXXXXX', 
    :store_url => 'https://YOUR_STORE.mybigcommerce.com'
)

Or using the new OAuth credentials:

api = BigcommerceAPI::Base.new(
    :client_id => APP_CLIENT_ID,
    :store_hash => STORE_HASH/ID,
    :access_token => OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN
)

You can test your connection by getting the time

 api.time

A valid time means your connection and credentials are good.

You can also get your store info settings via the 'api' instance:

api.store

Usage

The API currently gives you read/write access to MOST of your Big Commerce API V2 resources (https://developer.bigcommerce.com/docs/api/v2)

$ irb

BigcommerceAPI::Base.new(:api_key => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX', :username => 'XXXXXXXX', :store_url => 'https://YOUR_STORE.mybigcommerce.com')

products = BigcommerceAPI::Product.all

order = BigcommerceAPI::Order.find(NNN)
order.status_id = 3
if order.save
  puts "success!"
else
  puts order.errors.join('; ')
end

orders = BigcommerceAPI::Order.all(:status_id => 11, :min_date_created => '2008-01-01'})

shipment = BigcommerceAPI::Shipment.create(
    :order_id => bc_order.id, 
    :order_address_id => SHIPMENT_ADDRESS_ID, 
    :tracking_number => 'XXXXXX', 
    :order_date => bc_order.date_created, 
    :items => [{:order_product_id => bc_order_product.id, :quantity => NNN}]
)
