Is the VerticalResponse API making you dizzy?

Vertigo is a simple Ruby wrapper that makes working with the VerticalResponse SOAP API much more Ruby-like. It manages your session_id, as well as letting you write methods as launch_email_campaign rather than launchEmailCampaign, and use symbols as keys rather than strings.

(More info)

Simply add Vertigo to your Gemfile:

gem 'vertigo'

If you are unlucky enough not to be using Bundler:

gem install vertigo

Basic example:

require 'vertigo'

client = Vertigo::Client.new('username', 'password', :duration_minutes => 5)

# Launch a campaign whose ID you already know:
client.launch_email_campaign(:campaign_id => 123456)

For more info, please see Vertigo::Client.

• Requires Ruby 1.8.7 (because of dependency on soap4r)

• Written against the 2011.08.10 deploy of the VerticalResponse API “v1.0”. More information: developers.verticalresponse.com/api/soap/developers-reference/articles/verticalresponse-api-update-for-august-2011/

Wow, you want to contribute? That’s awesome! Thanks!

To set up your development environment, please run:

bash dev-setup.sh

Among other things, that command makes sure you have run ‘git flow init` (which makes managing contributions easier). Please develop on the develop branch. When you have something you’d like to share, send a pull request to @benjaminoakes.

• This is a Ruby Gem, built using Bundler. For a walkthrough of how that works, see railscasts.com/episodes/245-new-gem-with-bundler

• You get some rake tasks for free (see ‘rake –tasks`) to help with building and installing

When writing documentation, this is handy:

bundle exec yard server --reload
