Nap is an extremely simple REST client for Ruby. It was built to quickly fire off HTTP requests without having to research net/http internals.
gem 'nap'
require 'rest'
require 'json'
response = REST.get('http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.json', {},
{:username => '_evan', :password => 'buttonscat'}
)
if response.ok?
timeline = JSON.parse(response.body)
puts(timeline.map do |item|
"#{item['user']['name']}\n\n#{item['text']}"
end.join("\n\n--\n\n"))
elsif response.forbidden?
puts "Are you sure you're `_evan' and your password is the name of your cat?"
else
puts "Something went wrong (#{response.status_code})"
puts response.body
end
If you need more control over the Net::HTTP request you can pass a block to all of the request methods.
response = REST.get('http://google.com') do |http_request|
http_request.open_timeout = 15
http_request.set_debug_output(STDERR)
end
To enable the proxy settings in Nap, you can either use the HTTP_PROXY or http_proxy enviroment variable.
$ env HTTP_PROXY=http://rob:[email protected]:665 ruby app.rb
