autometal-piwik

DESCRIPTION:

A simple Ruby client for the Piwik API. This gem is based on Rodrigo Tassinari de Oliveira’s piwik gem (github.com/riopro/piwik). Since it hasn’t been updated since 2008, I took the liberty to fork it, and finish it up.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

Object-oriented interface to the Piwik API;
For now, only a small subset of the API is implemented (only basic actions)

SYNOPSIS:

Piwik is an open source web analytics software, written in PHP. It provides an extensive REST-like API, and this gem aims to be a simple Ruby wrapper to access this API in a Ruby-friendly way. For example:

require 'rubygems'
require 'piwik'
site = Piwik::Site.load(1, 'http://your.piwi.install', 'some_auth_key')
=> #<Piwik::Site:0xb74bf994 @name="Example.com", @config={:auth_token=>"some_auth_key", :piwik_url=>"http://your.piwi.install"}, @id=1, @main_url="http://www.example.com", @created_at=Tue Jul 15 18:55:40 -0300 2008>
site.pageviews(:month, Date.today)
=> 88

user = Piwik::User.load(1, 'http://your.piwi.install', 'some_auth_key')
=> #<Piwik::User:0xb66bf544 @login="Example.com", @config={:auth_token=>"some_auth_key", :piwik_url=>"http://your.piwi.install"}, @id=1, @main_url="http://www.example.com", @created_at=Tue Jul 15 18:55:40 -0300 2008>

Currently, only Piwik::Site and Piwik::User simple new / create / save / update methods have been implemented.

For more information on Piwik and it’s API, see the Piwik website (piwik.org) and the Piwik API reference (dev.piwik.org/trac/wiki/API/Reference).

INSTALL:

sudo gem install autometal-piwik --source=http://gemcutter.org

CHANGELOG:

* 0.4.2
  Final fix for inconsistent API outputs caused by Rails using its own version of XmlSimple.
* 0.4.1
  Quick fixed api result parsing in site creation. The API's responses are inconsistent, but I am not sure why.
* 0.4.0
  Added Piwik::Trackable controller mixing, pretty much swiped off of halfdan's piwik analytics project (https://github.com/halfdan/piwik_analytics/). The version included in this plugin is not suitable for application tracking, and is instead geared towards tracking multiple websites stored as ActiveRecord models
* 0.3.0
  UsersManager CRUD implementation, with tests
* 0.2.3
  Started adding some tests
* 0.2.0
  Reworked plugin to also look for a rails config file called piwik.yml, and not just the .piwik user prefs file.
* 0.0.2 2008-07-22 (riopro)
  * Added specs for existing API methods
  * Created RubyForge project at http://rubyforge.org/projects/piwik/
* 0.0.1 2008-07-21 (riopro)
  * major enhancement:
  * Initial release
