The Pinboard Ruby Gem

A Ruby wrapper for the Pinboard API.

Installation

gem install pinboard

Examples

I'm currently exploring two API interfaces:

    pinboard = Pinboard::Client.new(:token => 'your_api_token')
    posts = pinboard.posts

Your API token can be found on your settings/password page.

or:

    posts = Pinboard::Post.all(:username => 'foo', :password => 'bar')

Both examples work.

Passing arguments: (works only for the Client API Interface)

    pinboard.posts(:tag => 'ruby') #all posts tagged 'ruby'
    pinboard.posts(:tag => 'ruby,pinboard') #all posts tagged 'ruby' and 'pinboard'
    pinboard.posts(:start => 20) #starting on the 20th post
    pinboard.posts(:results => 20) #return only first 20 matching posts
    pinboard.posts(:fromdt => 4.days.ago) #all posts in past 4 days
    pinboard.posts(:todt => 4.days.ago) #all posts up to 4 days ago

Adding new posts:

  pinboard.add(:url => "http://example.com/", :description => 'Example post')

Future Examples (I don't need them, so I haven't written them)

pinboard.posts(:meta => true) #include meta data in post models
