GnipGnop

A ruby library that given a Gnip activity stream XML , will allow you to interact with that entry as a first-class Ruby object.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gnip_gnop'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gnip_gnop

The library assumes that you have a well formed activity stream entry element (generally chunked in via a Gnip stream). You can then parse that xml element like this:

> entry = GnipGnop::Entry.parse(xml)

Given this object reference, you can then "walk" the XML object's hierarchy.

> entry.id
 => "tag:search.twitter.com,2005:180761363340197888"

Or, a more complex example:

> entry.author.name
 => "greeneyedtengu"

Where there were namespace conflicts (for example there is an element as well as a namespaced author element, e.g. activity:author, in which cases I camelcased the accessor.

So for example the activity author has an id, which can be accessed like:

> entry.activity_author.id
 => "http://twitter.com/greeneyedtengu"
