gem install 7digital

require “sevendigital”

api_client = Sevendigital::Client.new(:oauth_consumer_key => “YOUR_KEY_HERE”, :country => “GB”)

an_artist = api_client.artist.search(“radiohead”).first

a_release = an_artist.releases(:page_size=>100).sort_by{|release| release.year}.last

puts “the latest #{an_artist.name} release is #{a_release.title} from #{a_release.year}”

puts “go and buy it at #{a_release.url} !”

To use the wrapper and access the 7digital API you need a configured instance of Sevendigital::Client. Create one using the standard new method:

client = Sevendigital::Client.new

This will get you an API client configured with default settings. At very least before making any API calls you will need to update the configuration with your own API key. You can adjust the client’s configuration in several ways:

1. In Rails app you can put sevendigital.yml inside your app’s config dir and this will be automatically picked up (for a template please see the examples directory)

2. You can provide a custom location of configuration file when instantiating a client

client = Sevendigital::Client.new(“dir/subdir/my_7d_configuration.yml”)

1. You can supply a hash of configuration settings when instantiating a client

client = Sevendigital::Client.new(:oauth_consumer_key => “YOUR_KEY_HERE”, :country => “GB”)

1. You can update the configuration in block whilst instantiating a client

client = Sevendigital::Client.new { |config| config.oauth_consumer_key => “YOUR_KEY_HERE” config.verbose => true }

You can also combine all of the above (if the same setting is specified multiple times the last one will be applied) An extreme example:

client = Sevendigital::Client.new(“7digital_default_settings.yml”, :oauth_consumer_key => “MY_OTHER_KEY”) { |conf| conf.country = “SE” conf.oauth_consumer_key = “ACTUALLY_USE_THIS_KEY” }
