Installation

Build a gem

To build the Ruby code into a gem:

gem build cloudmersive-ocr-api-client.gemspec

Then either install the gem locally:

gem install ./cloudmersive-ocr-api-client-2.0.2.gem

(for development, run gem install --dev ./cloudmersive-ocr-api-client-2.0.2.gem to install the development dependencies)

or publish the gem to a gem hosting service, e.g. RubyGems.

Finally add this to the Gemfile:

gem 'cloudmersive-ocr-api-client', '~> 2.0.2'

Install from Git

If the Ruby gem is hosted at a git repository: https://github.com/GIT_USER_ID/GIT_REPO_ID, then add the following in the Gemfile:

gem 'cloudmersive-ocr-api-client', :git => 'https://github.com/GIT_USER_ID/GIT_REPO_ID.git'

Include the Ruby code directly

Include the Ruby code directly using -I as follows:

ruby -Ilib script.rb

Getting Started

Please follow the installation procedure and then run the following code:

# Load the gem
require 'cloudmersive-ocr-api-client'

# Setup authorization
CloudmersiveOcrApiClient.configure do |config|
  # Configure API key authorization: Apikey
  config.api_key['Apikey'] = 'YOUR API KEY'
  # Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. 'Bearer' (defaults to nil)
  #config.api_key_prefix['Apikey'] = 'Bearer'
end
