A Ruby library for XIVAPI.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'xivapi', git: 'https://github.com/xivapi/xivapi-ruby.git', tag: 'v0.3.3'And then run:
$ bundle install
Full documentation for this library can be found here. For basic usage information, please see below.
Start by initializing a client. You can obtain an API key by signing in to XIVAPI here. The key is available under the Dev Account page after signing in.
require 'xivapi'
# Basic configuration
client = XIVAPI::Client.new(api_key: 'abc123')
# Advanced configuration
client = XIVAPI::Client.new(api_key: 'abc123', language: 'fr')Now that you have a client, you can use it to contact the API. Examples have been provided below for the various endpoints. For the full list of endpoints and their parameters, please reference the request documentation.
The data returned from the API is automatically converted into OpenStruct objects with snake_cased keys. If the request returns multiple results (e.g. character search), it will be provided to you in the form of an XIVAPI::Paginator object. The paginator is Enumerable, allowing you to access the data with methods like first, each, map and to_a.
See the examples below to get a better idea of how to access the data.
