Version: 0.1.0

$ gem install amazon-awis

require 'amazon/awis'

# set the default options; options will be camelized and converted to REST request parameters.
Amazon::Awis.options = {:aws_access_key_id => [your access key]}

# to generate signed requests include your secret key:
Amazon::Awis.options = {:aws_access_key_id => [your developer token], :aws_secret_key => [your secret access key]}

# alternatively,
Amazon::Awis.configure do |options|
    options[:aws_access_key_id] = [your access key]
    options[:aws_secret_key] = [you secret key]
    options[:responsegroup] = 'Rank'
end

#Call get_info method to get website info
res = Amazon::Awis.get_info('yahoo.com')

# some common response object methods        
res.is_success?   # return true if request was successful

#dynamic methods
res.rank          # return the rank of domain name that was passed
res.dataurl	      # returns the url which was queried
