oh

Description

An API for OptionsHouse (optionshouse.com).

Currently provides a mechanism for pulling stock and option quotes.

Synopsis

# The basic oh API. Calls to the API return parsed Nokogiri documents.
require 'oh'

# An object wrapper around the basic api. Marshals above responses into
# handy Ruby objects, defined in lib/ohbjects.
require 'ohbjects'
Ohbjects.activate

# You defined these vars somewhere else, right?
o = Oh.new(username, password)

# Use the virtual account so we don't accidentally spend all your
# hard-earned dollars on Frozen Pork Belly futures.
 = o.accounts.detect { |a| a.virtual? }
o. = .id

# Bask in the glory of knowing the latest price for the 
# iPath Dow Jones-AIG Coffee Total Return Sub-Index ETN.
p o.quote("JO")

# Do something like this every 120 seconds or so, otherwise your
# token will expire.
o.keep_alive
