flightstats-flex

Ruby client for the FlightStats Flex API.

Installation

In your Gemfile:

gem "flightstats-flex", "~> 0.3.0"

gem 'flightstats-flex', :git => 'https://github.com/diditclear/flightstats-client-ruby'

Note that there is an old flightstats gem on Rubygems, hence the name flightstats-flex for this library.

Usage

You only need to configure your FlightStats app id and keys:

FlightStats.app_id = '1234'
FlightStats.app_key = '5678'

You can also specify your own logger:

FlightStats.logger = Logger.new

When using Rails, you can set it up in an initializer (e.g. config/initializers/flightstats.rb):

require 'flightstats'

FlightStats.app_id = '1234'
FlightStats.app_key = '5678'
FlightStats.logger = Rails.logger

Extended options

The last argument of each API call is an optional hash. The :params key of that hash is used to pass query parameters.

For extended options, it looks like:

FlightStats::Airport.actives({ :params => { :extendedOptions => 'languageCode:fr' } })
FlightStats::Airport.actives({ :params => { :extendedOptions => 'useHTTPErrors+languageCode:fr' } })

Contributing

There are two sets of tests.

The default one uses mock HTTP calls and can be run via:

rake test:spec

The remote ones will issue HTTP calls to FlightStats. You need to update your API credentials in spec/spec_helper.rb before running them:

rake test:remote:spec
