Reliefweb Scraper
- Feeds featured disasters from http://reliefweb.int/
Reliefweb::Disaster is a subclass of Hashie::Mash, so you can do the following:
disaster = Reliefweb.featured_disasters.first
puts disaster["title"]
puts disaster.title
- Run "rake featured_disasters:fetch" to see the disaster data
- Run "rake spec" to run the rspec tests ** Note: run "rm spec/fixtures/vcr_cassettes/*.yml" if you want to re-record the vcr specs
Examples
Return an array of featured disasters:
Reliefweb.featured_disasters
