Gem Version Downloads Build Status Dependency Status Code Climate Coverage Status

Ruby toolkit for working with the viagogo API. Our developer site documents all of the viagogo APIs.

Installation

Install via Ruby gems

gem install gogokit

... or add to your Gemfile

gem 'gogokit'

Usage

See our developer site and samples for more examples.

require 'gogokit'

# All methods require OAuth2 authentication. To get OAuth2 credentials for your
# application, see http://developer.viagogo.net/#authentication.
client = GogoKit::Client.new do |config|
  config.client_id = YOUR_CLIENT_ID
  config.client_secret = YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
end

# Get an access token. See http://developer.viagogo.net/#getting-access-tokens
token = client.get_client_access_token
client.access_token = token.access_token

# Get a list of events, categories, venues and metro areas that match the given
# search query
search_results = client.search 'FC Barcelona tickets'

# Get the different event genres (see http://developer.viagogo.net/#entities)
genres = client.get_genres

Request Headers, Query Parameters and Body

The last parameter of all GogoKit::Client methods is an options Hash that supports headers, params and body keys for specifying request headers, query parameters and body respectively.

events = client.get_events_by_category(CATEGORY_ID,
                                       headers: {'Accept-Language' => 'JA'},
                                       params: {'sort' => 'name'})

Configuration and defaults

GogoKit::Client accepts a range of options when creating a new client instance.

Configuring client instances

Every writeable attribute in {GogoKit::Configuration} can be set one at a time

client = GogoKit::Client.new
client.client_id = YOUR_CLIENT_ID
client.api_root_endpoint = 'https://sandbox.api.viagogo.net'

or in a block:

client = GogoKit::Client.new do |config|
  config.client_id = YOUR_CLIENT_ID
  config.api_root_endpoint = 'https://sandbox.api.viagogo.net'
end

Using ENV variables

Default configuration values are specified in {GogoKit::Default}. Many attributes will look for a default value from the ENV before returning GogoKit's default.

# Given $GOGOKIT_CLIENT_ID is "abcd1234" and $GOGOKIT_API_ROOT_ENDPOINT is
# "http://sandbox.api.viagogo.net"
client = GogoKit::Client.new
client.client_id
client.api_root_endpoint

# => "abcd1234"
# => "http://sandbox.api.viagogo.net"

Sandbox Environment

# You can use the GogoKitConfiguration to switch between the sandbox and
# production environments. See http://developer.viagogo.net/#sandbox-environment
client = GogoKit::Client.new
client.api_environment = :sandbox

Supported Ruby Versions

This library aims to support and is tested against the following Ruby implementations:

  • Ruby 1.9.3
  • Ruby 2.0.0
  • Ruby 2.1.0
  • Ruby 2.2.0

If something doesn't work on one of these Ruby versions, it's a bug.

This library may inadvertently work (or seem to work) on other Ruby implementations, but support will only be provided for the versions listed above.

If you would like this library to support another Ruby version, you may volunteer to be a maintainer. Being a maintainer entails making sure all tests run and pass on that implementation. When something breaks on your implementation, you will be responsible for providing patches in a timely fashion. If critical issues for a particular implementation exist at the time of a major release, support for that Ruby version may be dropped.

Troubleshooting on Windows

GogoKit uses SSL for all HTTP requests. On Windows you will need to configure where your certificates live since OpenSSL cannot find one to validate the authenticity. This post describes how you can get this working on windows.

Versioning

This library aims to adhere to Semantic Versioning 2.0.0. Violations of this scheme should be reported as bugs. Specifically, if a minor or patch version is released that breaks backward compatibility, that version should be immediately yanked and/or a new version should be immediately released that restores compatibility. Breaking changes to the public API will only be introduced with new major versions. As a result of this policy, you can (and should) specify a dependency on this gem using the Pessimistic Version Constraint with two digits of precision. For example:

spec.add_dependency 'gogokit', '~> 0.4'
