ABN Lookup is the free public view of the Australian Business Register (ABR). It provides access to publicly available information supplied by businesses when they register for an Australian Business Number (ABN).
This gem provide a easy way to consume the JSON api.
Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:
$ bundle add abn_lookup
If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
$ gem install abn_lookup
First step is configure your GUID key. You can request a GUID key here in contact us session
AbnLookup.guid = "your_GUID_key"This is a global configuration, all api calls will use this configuration.
If you are using Ruby On Rails you can put this in initializer folder.

To do this:
Adding a stub to search_by_abn:
AbnLookup::Test.stub_search_by_abn("26008672179",
AbnLookup::Abn.parse(
{
"Abn" => "26008672179",
