Defined in:
lib/tlaw/api.rb

Overview

API is just a top-level Namespace.

Basically, you start creating your endpoint by descending from API and defining namespaces and endpoints through a DSL like this:

class MyCoolAPI < TLAW::API
  define do
    base 'http://api.mycool.com'

    namespace :awesome do
      # ...and so on
    end
  end
end

And then, you use it:

api = MyCoolAPI.new
api.awesome.cool(param: 'value')

See DSL for explanation of API definition, Namespace for explanation of possible usages and Endpoint for real calls performing.
