A ruby gem for Quaderno API.

quaderno-ruby

Quaderno-ruby is a ruby wrapper for [Quaderno API] (https://github.com/quaderno/quaderno-api). As the API, it's mostly CRUD.

Current version is 1.5.4. See the changelog here

Installation & Configuration

To install add the following to your Gemfile:

  gem 'quaderno', require: 'quaderno-ruby'

To configure just add this to your initializers

  Quaderno::Base.configure do |config|
    config.auth_token = 'my_authenticate_token'
    config.subdomain = 'my_subdomain'
    config.environment = :production
  end

The environment attribute is optional and set to :production by default. Optionally, you can set it to :sandbox in order to test your application before deploying it to production.

Get authorization data

You can get your account subdomain by grabbing it from your account url or by calling the authorization method with your personal api token.

  Quaderno::Base.authorization 'my_authenticate_token', environment
  # => {"identity"=>{"id"=>737000, "name"=>"Walter White", "email"=>"[email protected]", "href"=>"https://my_subdomain.quadernoapp.com/api/v1/"}} 

environment is an optional argument. By passing :sandbox, you will retrieve your credentials for the sandbox environment and not for production.

This will return a hash with the information about your api url, which includes the account subdomain.

Ping the service

You can ping the service in order to check if it is up with:

  Quaderno::Base.ping #=> Boolean

This will return true if the service is up or false if it is not.

Check the rate limit

  Quaderno::Base.rate_limit_info #=>  {:reset=>4, :remaining=>0} 

This will return a hash with information about the seconds until the rate limit reset and your remaining requests per minute (check the API documentation for more information).
